Hi.
Pain in lower abdomen and pins and needles feeling in feet may not be related directly. They can occur due to deficiency caused by intestinal obstructions and can be treated well with proper supplements in therapeutic doses as advised by your Doctor and/or dietitian.
IF you still experience pain in abdomen, better to go for investigations to see the position of adhesions. The best one is ''enteroclysis'' in which a small tube is passed into the duodenum and barium passed through in 'real-time'' fluoroscopic control to see the motility , dilatation , obstruction , stricture and so on.
If this is normal , may be you have to undergo further tests as per Gastro Surgeon.
Till then be on liquid diet, avoid foods and beverages which enhance pain .
