Pain almost two weeks after surgery

I had my gallbladder taken out on May 1st with keyhole surgery. The first week I had really bad pain that didn't seem to ease at all (I had a rough first 24hrs too due to pain and nausea, so couldn't get out of the hospital bed and walk around).

The last few days have felt a little better but I'm still getting pain on my right side but specifically, pain in the centre above my navel. Feels very sore, aching, raw, kind of ripping pain, or a stinging almost burning pain (hope any of that made sense to describe it).

It's not extreme but fairly persistent and flaring up at times. Should I be concerned or does this sound like part of the process? I'm also in an extremely stressful home environment so that's not helping an easy recovery. I'm just scared there's something wrong, or I've ripped something somehow.
