What Causes Sharp, Extreme Pain Around The Belly Button?

I get a sharp lightning bolt type of excruciating pain in my stomach just to the right of my belly button about 5-6 inches away and a little bit upwards from the belly button?? Is this a free service before you answer my question? Thank you very much. If it is something I have to pay for , then please do not give me an answer. Thanks.
