Ladies and Gentlemen, I need your expertise....

I just returned from the ER because I have been having severe abdominal pain. I am 8 weeks post op. The pain started at around 8 in the morning. I thought it was gas because it was right there around my navel but covering my entire abdomen around to my back. I was feeling light headed, nausea, but the worst was the awful cramps. Like I said, I was convinced it was gas. I took a pain pill, and tried to go to the bathroom. I had a BM, but not as much as I normally do. However, I had a busy day the previous day and didn't get my normal amount of water or food in. (Boy will I never do that again.)When the pain didn't dissappear by 3:00 I started worrying about bowel obstruction, leakage ect.... So I went to the ER. They took most of my blood, examined me, made me drink some stuff that would numb my stomach and stop spasms if that was what I was having. It didn't even phase the pain. He gave me a great pain shot that knocked the pain out for about 11/2 hours. I took several xrays. He said it isn't gas, not bowel obstruction, not leakage, not gallbladder (since I had mine out with my RNY). He said he thought it may be an ulcer but that I would have to have further tests when I followed up with my GP. He gave me some prilosec and percocet. First question: Anyone got any clue as to what this may be. Second question: Are we aloud to take percocet On a scale of 1-10 my pain was around 8-9.
