May be adhesions: Anywhere the lining and contents of the abdominal cavity have healed from being cut, scar tissue forms. Scar tissue is not slippery and won't stretch like these other structures and it tends to stick to itself. Sometimes fibrous bands of scar tissue form between the intestines and the lining limiting the usual free motion and the subsequent tension causes sharp pain. They can be cut but may return
