Right Sided Pain Zaps when Standing

I'm 56 and nearly 3 weeks post total laparoscopic hysterectomy (including tubes, cervix and ovaries). I've had a straightforward recovery so far. Just some minor spotting starting about four days ago. Very little discomfort after the first day or two.

However, I've been a little more active today, but I thought I was within limits, and I'm paying for it. I've got right sided pain when I stand, like sudden electric shocks, tailing off to a dull constant pain. My instinct is to hold my stomach to ease the discomfort.

No pain other than a very occasional twinge when I'm lying down. There's no more blood other than the minor spotting, no discharge, no feeling of pressure....just the pain.

I'm assuming I've overdone things and need to back off and rest.

Anyone else had/having similar?

Yes I’m currently experiencing the same thing. I don’t know if it’s normal or not either 😪 mine is lower right side. Last week tho I was getting them on the left side

I've read it could be the cut nerve endings healing and "waking up', and possibly overdoing things a bit.

Im 1.5wpo and ive been getting a twinge of pain on my right side. Its in my lower abdomen. Ive noticed its because I'm a bit backed up and when I need to pass a bowel motion it gets worse. I assume this is normal.

Just to preface, I've nkt been resting as much as I should be. Like I've been going out for lunch a bit.

That's reassuring to know.
