Hello,
As per my surgical experience, the sharp sensations in lower abdomen are common and absolutely normal part of recovery when there is resection and anastomosis procedure is performed. It takes around a period of about 6 months to get his issue settled. If much bothersome, anti spasmodic medication as dicyclomine or drotaverine would help great way.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
