so today i was sitting in my chair doing a paper for my sociology class. i needed to take a break to eat and stretch. so i got up and put my arms above my head to stretch and i felt this sharp little pain in a line under my belly button. i also noticed that when i was peeing that same little line under my belly button was sharp, feels like a pulled muscle but i’ve been freaking myself out because when you google the symptoms all it says is appendicitis and all this other stuff. i feel ok still right now but im still a little scared. can anyone help me out?
Comments
YES. WTF IS THAT.
EDIT to add: I don’t think you should worry about it too much, given that this has happened to me on and off for like 15 years. But if you are concerned, you should talk to your doctor about it.
I get this too when I stretch with my arms above my head. I have no idea what it is so i just don’t stretch so far. There’s definitely some kind of connection to my bladder when I aggravate it. I wouldn’t worry.

Hydrate before you stretch as dehydrated muscles are prone to this.
I learned more about it in this community r/urachus_spasm
Glad I’m not the only one, I thought I was dying 😂. It also happens if I brace more core too hard when squatting or deadlifting.
Part of me thought it was a hernia but I’ve had it happen for as long as I remember.
My guess is a nerve is getting pulled tight? Idk, I’m no doctor.
Pay attention if it continues, worsens, and/nor migrates to your lower right. Otherwise, it’s entirely possible that it’s muscular. I had some physical therapy semi-recently and learned how much tension we can carry in our abdomens.
One time i peed in the shower standing up and I felt some weird pain in my bladder. It happened only once so long ago but it scarred me 💔
Hernia?
Maybe a small hernia
oh my goodness yes. i get it around my period. i never knew it had a name! and also ive had appendicitis too and what you’re describing isn’t it. that’s a much different pain. the line of pain near the belly button for me goes away within a day after it appears
Get your gall bladder checked
Go pee?
