A month after laparoscopy procedure, my wife is suffering from pains on her lower right abdomen side, right underneath her rib cage. She describes it as a pressure pain, that coincidentally, she claims before the surgery this very same pressure pain was located lower, almost to where her appendix would be. What could be causing this pains? To give you more info: The procedure was to correct a cyst, that was missed by her gynecologist, but spotted by her gastroenterologyst, due to the fact that it was located outside her uterus.
