My first guess is "Resolve your tracked changes".  If you have accumulated
lots of tracked changes in the document, but these are hidden, the comment
numbering will apparently make no sense.

You need to resolve (accept or reject) the changes, then save and close the
document.  When you re-open, your numbering should be correct.

The way Comment numbering is generated, you can safely say that Comments 20
to 109 are in there somewhere: in deleted text, in hidden text, in
unresolved changes.  They're there somewhere.

If you can't find them, you can use the "Go To" command.  Look for a Help
topic titled "Go to a specific page, table, or other item".  It's normally
Ctrl + g, then fill in "comment" and the number you want to go to.

Hope this helps

That sounds a bit odd. What happens if you Copy/Paste the contents in
a new document? It sounds like there is an issue in the internal
numbering and creating a new document, which should trigger the
renumbering of your comments, may resolve it.
