Hard to guess: Need to see your surgeon for an exam and full history. Pains can be from many sources; muscles, nerves, back, stomach ulcer or gastritis, etc. I cannot tell without a full medical history & and exam.

When to get checked: I agree, you have reason to get checked by your surgeon. In addition to possible post surgery problems you could have a new or related problem such as gastric ulcer. Go sooner if you have fever or emesis. Good luck.
