Yes: You may have minor symptoms like that for a couple of years. Many small nerve fibers are cut in an operation like yours and they grow back very slowly. But it will be fine in the end.

Healing pains: You had your splenectomy performed by laparoscopy. It may have been multiple small holes or a single port at the umbilicus. The doctor morcelized the spleen in a bag to remove it. If you are 3 months after then the pain may be from the nerves growing back at the site. As long as no drainage or redness then continue to observe. If it is hot, tender to touch, or draining fluid then call.
