Weird symptoms

Have a stabbing pain, like a needle is poking me,on the left side of my belly button,that gets worse during an MRI for a few days. My amazing neurologist has ran every scan but can't figure it out why. My daughter said maybe I swallowed a piece of metal from a can, or a piece of metal in my protein powder.

  1. I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with this unusual and explained pain. It's good that your neurologist ran so many tests to see what was going on and basically rule out a lot of the big, scary things. But, I'm sure it's unsettling not having an answer and therefore a way to best manage it. Does you neurologist have a suggestion on where to go from here?
