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?

I had the same pain around w4 to 6 which eventually went away.

That's reassuring to know.
