Subject: Re: Abdominal Pain Hi, I just had an ultrasound because I have had a pain in my abdomin I feel this pain when I push on the area and when I am out running/jogging. Thanks, Dear Amanda, I doubt that ytour pain represents serious pathology. Sometimes, appendicits pain can start in the area of the belly button, but usually, it migrates to the right lower quadrant after a few hours. Pancreatic inflammation can cause pains that radiate to the back but are usually not chronic. Muscular pains and smallintestine disease are also possible but unlikely causes. If you are concerned, then you should ask your doctor to order a small intestine x-ray. A Ct scan would be costly but if normal would eliminate many of the abdominal causes for your pain.
