Suggest Remedy For A Muscular Problem Inside The Stomach

I have a diastasis recti, found by dr after pregnancy years ago dx by a surgeon 1 year ago had no problems until the other day. I have had some discomfort, the other day I pushed on my stomach to try to push the muscle back in, it was hard instead of regular soft, I have a light redness around my belly button, it went away and came back, I have NO pain just feels uncomfortable when I get up & down, some pinching by belly button & inside belly button looks like belly button pushing out a little. its been 3 days and feels little better each day, is it possible I irritated the muscle & how long until it feel normal again

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
The umbilical position of just pushed out indicates that you have an umbilical hernia along with diastasis recti.
This indicates you be examined again by a General Surgeon, get a diagnosis and if required get the defect and umbilical hernia corrected by an operation.

Only surgery can correct such type of pains, till then you can consult a Physiotherapist to get abdominal wall exercises as may be required for your condition.
