Nerve pain

Hi 

I had my reversal op 4.5weeks ago. I can go to the toilet well and the area where the stoma was is healing fine. My only problem is terrible shooting nerve pains in my lower abdomen going to my genitals and really bloated tummy. My bladder is quite right either (frequent wees and hurts - no UTI). Has anyone experienced any of the above. My surgeon said it will settle down. At the moment, I'm in pain all day, everyday and not because of the usual symptoms post op.
