pain when applying pressure just below belly button

[konzole]

I'm not an anatomy expert here so I'm not sure exactly were this discomfort is coming from.  For maybe 2-3 years I have had something painful in the lower abdomen about 2 inches just below my belly button.  It's only painful when I apply pressure to that area and only when I apply deep pressure, in other words its not just below the skin and its deeper then the muscles.  Applying deep pressure to the belly button and the areas to the sides an above it yield no discomfort.  It feels rather stiff so I doubt its just gas buildup, seeing how its also been there for a long time.  Its only in an area maybe a few inches in width and height.  During intense excercise the area is a bit more painful and I can feel it having a strong pulsating action that seems to just go along with the action of blood being pumped around.  Like I said though it is never painful unless I apply deep pressure to the area.  For about the same amount of time I have also been experiencing intense anal itching and found out that pinworms can be a cause for this, but pinworm medication doesnt seem to help.  This itching, like the abdominal pain, has been ongoing everyday for the 2-3 years.

Besides those 2 things I have no other abnormal symptoms I can think of especially nothing seemingly wrong with passing stools or urinating, and I'm in overall great health, but there is definately something going on in that location because I can't imagine how applying even deep pressure can feel so tender and sore.

I'm sure the answers I am going to get will all be that I should go see a doctor or a gastroenterologist, but before I do I was hoping I could get some opinions on what part of the anatomy I am dealing with here and what the problem might be.

So just to sum it all up...

- painful area just below the belly button a few inches in width and height and much deeper then the skin or muscles and only painful and tender when deep pressure is applied
- intense anal itching which pinworm medication didnt seem to cure.

Ya I was reading up on that condition also.  Could be the problem, though from the following symptoms for this problem...
    * Abdominal mass
    * Abdominal rigidity
    * Anxiety
    * Clammy skin
    * Nausea and vomiting
    * Pain in the abdomen or back -- severe, sudden, persistent, or constant. The pain may radiate to groin, buttocks, or legs.
    * Pulsating sensation in the abdomen
    * Rapid heart rate when rising to a standing position
    * Shock

Out of those I don't experience any shock, nausea or vomiting, clammy skin, or anxiety and the pain is only localized and doesnt occur unless pressure is applied to the area.  I do experience a rapid heart rate every once in a while (maybe once a month), so its certainly not common, and it seems to happen alot more when I eat way too much sugar.

ATTENTION ANYONE EXPERIENCE ITCHING:

You have parasites! Almost 95% of people have some sort of parasite. These parasites breed, and make hundreds to thousands of eggs per day! Sugars, natural or artificial, seem to feed the parasites, creating candida. If you have allergies or suffer from post-nasal drip  (like I do), and have the sensation of mucus or "something stuck in the back of your throat", these are parasites "coming down to feed" on the sugars, dairy, and other mucus-forming foods you consume.

Let me list the ailments I’ve noticed, just in my own health struggles, over the last 20+ years: dry, itchy scalp (NOT dandruff, but I NOW know they’re demodex mites), thinning hair (or bald spots), allergies, sinus issues (PND), “cluster” and migraine headaches, eye floaters, visual disturbances, acne, occasional lesions, occasional ringworm & small white spots that appear randomly over the body (caused by what I NOW know is a skin fungus), easy bruising, anemia, constant weight gain (even when not eating much), itchy skin (especially on the lower legs), abdominal pain/gas/boating/IBS symptoms, vaginal/rectal itching (especially at night), depression/mood swings/memory lapses, body odor/bad breath, and nail fungus.

Most of the time, these parasites are "stealing" the nutrients from your foods, to feed and protect themselves in your body, leading to issues like abdominal discomfort, IBS/Crohn's, Diabetes, Anemia, easy bruising, Cancer, and other ailments.

Unless you go to a holistic or naturopathic doctor, your stool samples, and other blood tests will MAGICALLY turn up "negative". WHY YOU ASK??? Because the medical profession NEEDS you to keep coming in for unnecessary tests and medications, TO KEEP YOU SICK! It's more profitable for the FDA and Big Pharma, to keep one believing that something is wrong with them (whether gastro issues, psych issues, or other more serious illnesses and diseases), than to CURE YOU of your issues!!

I have parasites. LOTS OF THEM! I have been to several doctors that just write off anything you say, but are quick to order medications and other unnecessary (expensive) tests that DON'T WORK! I'm also a nurse (for over 35 years), and don't take one's word as gospel, until AFTER I do my own research.

In my research, I found an interesting link between parasites, an overabundance of candida, and various health issues. I’m an avid gardener, love sushi, grew up eating pork products, have always had pets (that I kissed often, and allowed on my bed regularly), had pinworms as a child (that I THOUGHT had been treated), and as an Emergency Room nurse, tended not to eat the best diet (I’ll admit). Yep, I fit the bill for parasite infestation.
I decided (after the last physician treated me like I was ignorant) to order natural supplements (from Amazon) to rid myself of any parasites. BTW, don’t bother buying anything for a candida cleanse (like I did) because until you rid the body of parasites, the candida won’t be eliminated. This candida buildup creates the “perfect storm” for various diseases and illnesses, including cancers, diabetes, lupus, multiple sclerosis, IBS, Crohn’s disease, yeast infections, etc.

I ordered Dr. Clark's Super W Blend (which contains Wormwood, a POWERFUL anti-parasitic); Organic Cloves; and GREEN Black Walnut Hulls TINCTURE (Black Walnut Hulls capsules are fine, but the liquid GREEN Black walnut TINCTURE is far more effective. TRUST ME ON THIS).

I kid you not; by the second day, I passed worms. Clear, (sometimes white) stringy worms (pinworms) and tons of egg larvae, were in my stools. And, my stools were NORMAL stools; I wasn’t having diarrhea or constipation. Just an incredible urge to go to the bathroom! Sometimes, I went to the bathroom more than 4 times a day! The Super W Blend and Green Black walnut tincture kills the adult worms, and the Cloves kill any egg larvae.

I couldn't believe my eyes! But I was even more focused to get these things out of my body! I even brought in a stool sample that anyone, even those with slight intelligence, could glance at quickly, and KNOW something was wrong. But guess what?? The tests for Ova & Parasites, came back negative. WTF??

So I stopped going to doctors, because I now KNOW what the real deal is. If you want to rid yourself of these issues, you must be PROACTIVE in YOUR OWN HEALTHCARE!!

I will say that once you start this protocol, YOU MUST CONTINUE AT ALL COSTS! If you stop, the parasites regroup, and you experience even MORE issues!  I must tell you, however, that you’ll feel worse before you feel better. I went through the sensation of “things crawling all over my body”. These are the parasites knowing they’re under attack, dying, and releasing their toxins, which poison the blood and leads to intense night sweats, increased body odor/bad breath, and insomnia (especially between the hours of 2-3am). You may have also noticed these worms become MORE ACTIVE around the time of the full moon. For the sinus/PND issues, I also added Oil of Oregano capsules; take 1 capsule 3x/day. For immediate relief of that sensation of “something stuck in the back of my throat”, I break one of the capsules in my mouth, and allow the oil to slowly go down my throat. The oil burns, but it kills worms “coming down to feast”. NEVER swallow the mucus! Cough it up and spit it out! Swallowing the mucus (which contain worms & their larvae) goes to your intestines, to begin their lifecycle all over again!

Stay away from any sugars (even natural sugar), dairy, grains, white flour, white rice, white bread (they convert to sugar in the body, thus feeding the parasites), and any mucus-causing foods, as much as you possibly can. Buy Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth, and put 1 TBSP in water (or another drink) and have that once or twice per day. Be SURE to drink PLENTY of fluids afterwards, as DE tends to constipate you. The DE are tiny, microscopic fresh water diatoms, that under a microscope looks like Chex mix; their edges are sharp, and shred the parasite’s body, rendering them helpless (or killing them), so they can be easily flushed from the body with the other products mentioned earlier. The DE also has other benefits: can be used in a home-made toothpaste (to re-mineralize teeth); for pest control (in and outside of the home, so lose your pest control company fees ☺); can be mixed into pet’s food to kill parasites in their bodies, as well as rubbed into their coats to kill fleas and other parasites, amongst other benefits!

****FOR THE ITCHING: Tea Tree Oil body washes! I run a bath (with the water as hot as I can stand), put a few squirts of this into my water (along with Epsom salt, I find parasites cannot stand this!) and sit/soak for at least 20 minutes. NO MORE ITCHING (for that day at least). Change all bed linens and wash your clothes daily. Vacuum resting spaces DAILY. DO NOT KISS, or allow pets onto your bed. Be sure to treat EVERYONE in your household, as its more than likely, they’re infected too.

This is working for me. I hope and pray that this helps others.

Omg!  Thank you! Everyone keeps telling me im crazy! After moving back in to my moms apartment a year ago i started experiencing extreme itching with dry skin patches on my body that soon turned into soars and everyone thought i was using drugs till i passed drug tests and then they just passed me off as paranoid and then i started researching this and what it could be and i know im not crazy! I know something has changed with my body! And your right tje docotrs do nothing and the dermatologist won't even order a skin biopsy or scraping test. Which is funny because you would think they would want to help me. But i thank you for this post and yiur insight into this matter it has been eye opening and helpful to me in my quest to rid myself of this problem!

Hi,

I am afraid that, there might b some problem in my stomach ?

I am 30 Years male with 6.1" height Weight 84 KG.

Please suggest what i have to do ... ?

I've had the same issue for at least 20 years (pain and stiffness when applying pressure below the belly button).  It came to my attention when an internal medicine specialist applied pressure there and told me my colon wasn't healthy.  He performed a colonoscopy and said I had diverticulosus.  10 years later I had another colonoscopy and a different doc said my diverticulosis wasn't bad.  However, the pain is and stiffness is still present.  I suspect it may be intolerance to certain foods, caffeine, or alcohol.

My concern, since you said that you feel a pulsing would be an abdominal aortic aneurysm.  Quite often these have no symptoms, but when they do, one of them is a pulsating area in the abdomen.  I would most definitely check in with your doc and be sure they know about the pulsating area.

I hope it's something very minor.

bump?

[konzole]

I was just thinking but could this be some swelling/bloating/inflamation from food not being digested properly?  Like I said I dont have a problem with the stools I pass but I think I do eat way too fast and dont chew enough.  Maybe 6 months ago I tried chewing alot more and eating a bit slower and I think I recall there being a bit less of the discomfort but I don't recall exactly.

[Tpfeiff]

Just wondering if you ever figured out the cause? I have the exact symptoms.

[Stami8]

Any news?? I am feeling the exact same way! I am a 28 year old woman, I eat healthy, exercise every day, don't smoke nor drink. I have no allergies. Should I be worried? I remember the symptoms appeared 1 year ago and they're still there

[konzole]

forgot to note that I'm a 28 year old male, about 6' 3" and 200 lbs.

[bhsbratsche]

Hi- I'm similar in age and have very similar symptoms. Do you have any follow-up you could provide on your situation? I hope you're feeling better. Thanks!
