I have had some stomach pains/nausea for the last week.  Cramping pain is above belly button below rib cage in the center of my stomach.  Tonight I noticed a small hard lump right above my belly button ...what could this be?  Sometimes the sharp pains wrap around to my back
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Due to the development of the hard lump above your belly button, I would urge you to get yourself clinically assessed by your family physician/general surgeon, who might go for an ultrasound abdomen to assist in the diagnosis and proper management. It might not be possible to opine on it over net without a clinical examination. Take care. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
