Hello,

The pain you are referring to under rib cage seems to be passing gas. As you already had two previous surgeries for intestinal blockage, then, you might suffer another blockage the same now. So, better check with surgeon to rule intestinal blockage (obstruction) out. Another possible explanation is passing excess gas through the scarred intestines. Again, checking physically with surgeon is a must as the pain is going on for a few hours now and I think gas is stuck.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
