Answers:
The pain above your belly button and the description of pushing a truck out of a ditch sounds like a hernia!.
If it turns out to be that and the doctor did NOT diagnose that he could be sued!.
I would immediately call a doctor or the emergency room and tell them your symptoms!.

An untreated hernia is very dangerous!.

Call them NOW!.!.!.ok!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could have something that ruptured, like an intestine, that is causing an infection!. Some sort of internal hyrnia!. I would go back to the emergency room, it could get worse within a week!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok i know you said you cant go to a doctor but go to a different one and i dont think you will fined propper medical help on here eitherbc not every one is a doctor and if you have puss coming out then i would think you have an infection of some sort!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could have a Hernia but the discharge is a symptom of Gastronenterology or liver disease , make an appointment with your family phyisian because this could be serious!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i wanna say hernia or severe muscle strain but before you go see your doctor again!.!.take a visit to webmd!.com and arm yaself with some information before you see that doctor againWww@Answer-Health@Com

If you can't get into your own doctor for a week (even though you tell them how bad it is!?) and you don't want to go back to the ER, which I could totally understand - all they do is throw pills at you and send yo home - A good option is an "urgent care" doctor - I have been to several, and they really do help and they spend time doing what they need to do, and if something is really wrong and they send you to the ER cause they can't fix it (like surgery) - the ER then listens more cause another doc told them it's serious!.
The urgent care centers have ultrasounds and xrays and can really look at you!.
Good luck!. See a doc right away - if you have an infection (like the pus indicates) you need to take care of it!. Seriously- you can die from infections - I almost did - not to scare you or anything, but I had infection in my belly and almost died!.
And a hernia usually needs surgery!.
GO TO A DOCTOR, try a different ER if nothing else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pus is a sign of infection, although the nature of the injury suggest a hernia!. Either way, it's not going to go away on its own and it's impossible for any to diagnose the problem online!. You need to go back to the doctor!. If you don't like the doctor that you saw last time, request another doctor!.

Okay, I understand that your doctor said that you do not have a hernia and that you are fine, But let me ask you this: Is there pus coming out of your belly button!? Do you have pain in your stomach!? If so, the doctor was WRONG, so why are you still paying attention to what he said!?
Doctors have a nasty habit of doing a very limited initial exam and diagnosing you based upon the most common ailment!. Why!? Because 9 times out of 10 they are right when they play the odds like this!. But sometimes they are wrong and they simply assume that you will come back, tell them about the new symptoms, and give them the opportunity to perform a more thorough exam and look at other possibilities!.
It could be nothing, but pus and pain are not good signs and could indicate any number of infections, internal disorders, or even a subdural hematoma!. Give your doctor the new information and get yourself checked out again!. Doctors can be wrong on the first diagnosis and you don't want to risk your life out of some misguided trust in a doctor you don't even like!.

Or you can ignore it and hope it goes away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
