THe pain after laparoscopy usually goes away within a week. The pain
can be more if there were an extensive amount of surgery done, but it
doens't sound like there was. Your gyn needs to examine you thoroughly
to make sure there isn't anything going on. If there were seriuos
problems, other symptoms - like fever, chills, bleeding would also be
noted.
