Pulled Muscle from a BM or Gas Pain??

Question

Ok, weird and dumb question. Can you pull a muscle in your side from the first post-surgical BM? I (finally) had one this morning, and had to work a little, and now I have a muscle area or something on the right that's pretty sore. (Most of my sx was on the right). It's above my incisions but below my rib cage. I also think I have a gas bubble stuck under my lungs on the right as well. 
Do you think the side ouch could be from the gas bubble? Or could I have pulled something. I didn't push hard, just steady. (I'd had been 4 days... I was leaning towards desperate).
Still tired and sore, especially at the belly button incision, but I guess doing ok. Got upstairs for a shower, so at least I don't smell anymore. My cats wouldn't come near me from the hospital smell :D
Thanks all, for any advice!

thats what it is I went back to the dr. because I thought I had push something lose.I found out it was a strained muscle.I know its hard but when you feel that gas you gotta walk right then and there and itll pass quickly.I also took some gas-x.The gas is the biggest of my pain even now.Good luck

The gas is very uncomfortable... it's sitting now under my right breast and along the right side. But, I still have a pulling/sore feeling on the right when climbing into bed or reaching upwards. I really am wondering if I pulled a muscle or something. 
I did have adhesions... could they reform this quickly? 
(Sorry for all the weird questions... my gyn was 95% sure it was a dermoid, so the majority of my knowledge is about them. I know virtually nothing about endometriosis and it's effects. I don't even know how you get it!)
I'm relaxing now with some percoset, 800mg Motrin, Gas-X, and taking fiber drinks to help get stuff moving, and watching the Preakness. (Here's hoping for a Triple Crown Winner!)
Any info anyone can give on endo would be extremely helpful. 
Thanks again all!
