Having sharp pains- normal or possibly serious?

I am 15 days post-op now, but starting around the third day, I have been having these pains. Initially they were like spasms or cramps right around my pouch area (not painful, just uncomfortable). Within a couple of days they turned into what I describe as contractions. They would roll from my side around to my pouch area. The cramping would last about 15 seconds each time and would happen about 7 times every minute. They would then just go away for 5 or 6 hours. I saw my surgeon just over a week after surgery and he seems to think it is normal- it's my body healing. Today these pains have become horrific. There is no more "rolling". They are SHARP pains- either at my pouch or about 4 inches to the left. These pains seem to be coming on more frequently tonight. I am taking Percocet for pain, but have only relaly started needing it the last few days. Those who have experienced this, what was it? Should I contact my surgeron and ask for testing or is it normal? It's kind of scaring me now....Thanks for your help!
