What Is Causing The Pain In Her Bellybutton?
Hello. My mother is 58 years old, she weighs 280 and is 5'5". She has a hernia on her right lower abdomen. For the past 3 days she has been in bed because she says her belly button hurts. She says that when she coughs it feels like shes full of air and strains her belly button. She had this pain last year as well, but it went away on it's own. Can it be another hernia?

Hello dear,
If the pain and feeling of fullness over umbilicus comes especially on coughing, we have to look for an umbilical hernia as well.
Other than this,pain around umbilicus can be from causes like appendicitis, uti etc.kindly see your doctor for correct diagnosis and treatment.
Take care. Thank you.
