The last several weeks I been having soreness and pain (sharp, espically when I bend over) around the belly botton area. when passing my hand over this area I can feel bumps (thinking adhesions) In the the last several days I been feeling more gas/bloating.Just for your information I am a personal trainer. in the last several month I have been doing more abdominals exercises along side my clients. Your Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hello Linda,

Welcome to the Pain Mangement Forum. I am glad that you found us at MedHelp and took the time to post. I am sorry to hear about your new discomfort.

Your umbilical hernia repair was completed five years ago if I understand you correctly. Adhesions or scar tissue typically begin to form within the first few days after surgery, but they may not produce symptoms for months or even years. If these "bumps" are new they may not be related to adhesions.

It is not unheard that you may require more repair. As you know the hernia was a tear or separation of your muscles. There are many possibilities and I cannot tell you with any certainty what may be going on.

It is important that you have a good clinical examination. Please see your PCP. As Mollyrae said abdominal pain should never be ignored.

We wish you the best of luck. Please let us know how you are doing.

Take Care,
Tuck

Hello Lindag and welcome to the Pain Forum.

From what I have gathered over the years, this could be an inflamed appendix, ulcers or hernia from excessive workouts.

My advise to you would be to see a Physician soon. They will most likely want to take some x-rays. Don't let it go. Pain in or near the belly button can be serious.

Good luck with it.
