I second Maryann's advice to call the gynecologist who performed the surgery to let them know what you are experiencing.
If your surgery was performed through an incision into your navel, the surgeon uses gas/air to inflate and tent your abdomen and pelvis during the surgery. This can cause abdominal, pelvic and shoulder pain for several days after surgery.
Rather than guess at what might be causing your pain, especially because your surgery was only 3 weeks ago, it is important to let the surgeon know what you're experiencing. If the receptionist in the office wants to relay your message to the surgeon, you can ask to speak with the doctor directly.
