Sharp, grabbing pain several weeks post-surgically

[ryan_86 335]

So here's something I didn't read about anywhere prior to surgery. I'm about 10 weeks post-op. Two weeks ago I started getting a sharp, grabbing/pinching pain in my left, lower belly when I bent over or sat up from a laying position. It was not every time, I couldn't make the pain happen on purpose, it didn't hurt to the touch, and it wasn't near one of the incision sights. I saw the surgeon, she had no ideas. Then it went away.

Then on this past Friday, I started getting the exact same pain when bending over, but his time it's on the right near my lowest rib.

I've been exercising, but I haven't felt any pain while doing it.

The pain is not so bad or frequent that I feel moved to do anything about it immediately. I see my surgeon for my 12 week follow up soon.

Meantime, anyone have any insights or experience with this?

I experience pain in various locations in my abdominal area. I increase my Fiber when it happens an generally feel relief the next day. For me it is intestinal pain.

I'd be curious to know whether anyone has any insight, as I have had the same pain under my right rib for a while now (& I haven't yet had surgery). My best guess is a hernia. :/ I plan to ask my surgeon at my consultation In a couple of weeks.
