there is a small ligament (string of tissue) that can be connecting from your belly button to the rest of your body (remnants of your own umbilical cord). It can get irritated or stretched or pull on the tissue right around the belly button. Most likely that is what happened, and it resolves itself in 2-3 days.

Also, in rare cases, pain from a bladder infection can be irritating another nerve and be felt only around the belly button.

So it is worth it to get a urine analysis. They are cheap and should give you peace of mind
