Colonoscopy/Polypectomy

Hi,

I had my second Colonoscopy/Polypectomy 4 days ago where they removed 21 polyps, the first procedure was in August this year and another 7 were removed ,some were pre-cancerous and obviously all were removed, I am now waiting to hear my histology results for my most recent procedure. 

I am still in quite alot of pain, mainly sharp pains which seems to be getting worse, I also experience quite alot of pain in my coccyx which is one reason why I went to the doctors in the beginning, I was hoping this pain would have lessoned after the procedure although it hasn't. 

Has anyone else still experienced quite alot of pain long after their procedure and anyone get pain in their coccyx? 

Thanks
