What Causes Pain In The Upper Abdomen?

I recently (3 days ago), had a d and c. Two days later I woke up with severe stomach pain. I thought I was constipated, and called my doctor. She suggested I get a laxative. Over the next 8 hours, I took 5 doses of Miralax. I finally had a bowel movement. Day 3 and I have pain in my upper abdomen. It hurts to press on it, cough, or laugh. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
