Navel Lump

[Chasin50]

Often I feel a slight pull in the area behind my navel.  This morning I woke up with this slight pulling pain but when I touched my navel I found a protruding lump.  I normally have a deep navel but this lump has made it flush with my stomach.  I do not have insurance so I'm afraid to go to the doctor.

I have something in my naval and I can't get it out.
My wife even took trezzers to try to pull it out couldn't.
naval has always been clear until what even this is growing in it.
now I also have a small lump behind the naval.
My wife wants me to go to the doctor because her mother years ago said that sometimes something can get in your naval and ***** your strength until you get weak from it. Is this possible?

Sounds like you may have a hernia. I had the same symptoms and have 3 small hernias. Not exactly painful, just a pinch/pulling feeling if I strain. When I cough or strain my stomach muscles, I will get little bulges and have to push them back in, gross! Not sure if that's it or not, you should probably have a doc take a look at it!
