Brief Answer:
It could be a hernia or adhesions
Detailed Answer:
Hi Jewelectibles,
From what you describe, I would suspect either abdominal adhesions after your previous surgery or a groin hernia.
If you have not had any radiological investigations, I recommend an ultrasound with Valsalva's manoeuvre, or a CT scan when you feel the pain.
Alternatively, a colonoscopy could reveal any other pathologies or inflammatory bowel condition.
Hope this helps.
