Brief Answer:
Post surgery pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Burning and tingling sensation post surgery is common due to handling of organs and sutures used during surgery.
The sensation is present on the right side rather than of left side, because the pain can be referred to opposite side by nerves.
I will suggest you to wait for 2-3 days.
If pain does not settles in these days, then you should consult your operating surgeon.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
