I'm having some pain across my abdomen. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi. For several weeks now I've had some pain across my abdomen. It may only last a morning or it could last 2-3 days at a time. It feels like someone has hauled off and punched me right smack in the gut. I have a hard time standing up straight and it is relieved when I'm sitting down or bending over slightly, and Tylenol does help as a rule. It's not limited to my incision area, but the main pain is a little right of and above my navel. Yes, I did call my doctor and was told that it's probably muscle strain. I'm exercising ("sweatin' to the oldies" with Richard Simmons) about 20 minutes a day and believe me, I put all I've got into it. It kinda feels like that area is "bruised". I'm a little concerned and just wonder if anyone else has experienced this. I'm 11 weeks post op, open RNY proximal and down 42#. Thanks so much for your comments.
