Help pain around belly button

Hi
I really need some help. Last year my old navel piercing seemed to get infected. Red area and pus coming out. I was given 2 sets of antibiotics. No redness or pus but the area feels really odd and I keep getting a pulling feeling or a feeling like the muscle isn’t right. Feels uncomfortable and hurts when area is brushed or knocked.
I had a scann but nothing was seen.
I was then referred to hospital for possible mri. However I had to wait several months for this and by that time the it wasn’t bothering me so I cancelled. However the problem has come back this week and I keep getting the odd uncomfortable and pulling feeling. I don’t know if it’s coincidence that I’ve started exercising properly after giving birth 8 months ago. I did wonder about diastis recti but there doesn’t feel like a gap so really not sure. I don’t know what to do as I have been checked by the doctors and stupidly cancelled my appointment as I didn’t want to waste time but it’s come back now and it just doesn’t feel right. Anyone else had this or any idea?

I wonder if there's some sort of a virus going around.

I have similar issues here. It started with a sore back last Tuesday. Then on Thursday, stomach cramps set in with a need to go to the toilet which relieved the tummy cramps. Cramps made worse after eating food.

Now, my tummy has been sore all day with a tightening and pinching feeling. Pain is in the middle of my tummy around the belly button, traveling to the left.
