I had pain on my right lower side that felt like I was splitting open sometimes. My doctor told me, in my case, that was where he stiched my port to the muscle and that it took time to heal.
I'm having the same pain. My doc put me in physical therapy for it. I basically just have to do stomach crunches everyday. It is starting to feel better.

I had the same pain up until about 3 weeks ago. My doctor explained it to me by saying that it was the biggest of the 7 incisions in my laparascopic surgery. He said at the end of the surgery they have to pull the abdominal muscle tight there and put a large stitch in it.
