Hello George and welcome to Cancer Chat.

I'm sorry about the pain you've been experiencing since you had your colonoscopy, although I'm glad to hear your fever has abated.

Our cancer nurses work between 9a.m - 5p.m so they won't see your post until tomorrow, but if you're worried or the pain gets worse this evening, you can get medical advice from the NHS on 111.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hello George and thank you for your post.

I think after a colonoscopy that involved taking polyps and biopsies it would be expected to have some pain. However, it is difficult for me to know if there is a concern that you still have pain.  The best thing to do if you are still worried is to contact the colonoscopy unit and explain you had one recently and you have pain.  You could also get a GP appointment to discuss it.

I hope you will be okay. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Caroline 

Thanks for your reply, Caroline. I think the pain may be easing off a bit today, so I'll see how things go over the next couple of days. Best wishes, George.
