Hi.
Pain may be due to Infection of the Laparoscopic port site.If the stitches are not yet removed,ask your Doctor to remove at least one stitch so that pus comes out freely.
Because of associated inflammation,the pain may spread to near by region also.
But,nothing to worry.
Consult your doctor and get proper antibiotic and good anti inflammatory drug.
Wish you good recovery
Regards
