Hi James,I just had to reply to this, as i have recently had something similar,
I had a pain around my belly button,, it was worse when i bent over too, could feel a pain just to the right of it, , it was driving me mad wondering what it was i even visited GP who told me it was nothing, anyway i noticed that it started to feel saw, and there was a bad smell from it (Sorry gross i know 😦 ..... ( i have an inny type belly button) and found that i had an infection inside my belly button, it turned out to be a Thrush infection as id has a course of anti biotics a while before, which can cause or bring on thrush, After another course of anti biotics it went away, I still now have to make sure its really clean & then dry it really well after a shower etc, but have had no problems since,
Just a thought?

No not yet, im on holiday in Cornwall so need to make an appointment with my own GP when i get back. i saw a doctor down here and he said it could be a hernia, but i have no bulge, only pain.
I'm worried what it could be.

The pain could be any number of things. Best to see your doctor.
