Brief Answer:
There is an urgent need for diagnostic investigations !!!

Detailed Answer:
Warm Welcomes. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.
I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will extend my expertise to solve the problems.

Pain in this area can be due to multiple reasons. It can be from constipation and impacted feces that causes pain and stiffness in the area.
Skin nerve irritation due to entrapment of nerves in stitches at the surgery site is also a cause of pain at previous surgery.
Infection of the colon or any disease of the colon also is one of the reasons for the symptoms you have. Kidney infection is also a cause.

How to proceed further from this point:-
You need an evaluation in-person form a Gastroenterologist. Make an appointment at your earliest for that. He will have to go for thorough physical examination and will run a battery of tests on you. Of them blood work is necessary. Others include but not limited to Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis, Colonoscopy and occult stool, and urine examination if needed.

Definitive treatment for such pain goes accordingly after the diagnostic workup is in hand and the reason is clear. Till then, take a plenty of water and add CITRUCEL dietary fiber supplement in diet. Keep a balanced healthy diet and take more of vegetables, salads and fruits. Keep a physical activity according to your capacity. It will assist you in getting better gut motility.
