Anyone else sore after Colonoscopy?

Hey everyone!

 

i had a colonoscopy last Sunday (1week ago). Has anyone else felt tender in the bowel/abdomen region afterwards? I feel bruised or tender when bending over etc?! 

 

It’s not getting worse or anything, I just want to know if anyone has had a similar experience? 

 

It was a painful colonoscopy so I’m not sure if this was a factor?

  • Yes, I had a colonoscopy on Monday where they removed a very small polyp and sprayed my bowel with blue dye. I feel very bruised and uncomfortable and it's now Thursday. Taking painkillers every day.

  • had 5 polyps removed during colonoscopy - also feel weak and bruised on right side - nagging aches after  week - had a cat scan no signs of problems - taking painkillers and being monitored at home with phone calls from unit . One begins to feel it won't resolve .Hopefully will diminish a bit debilitating ... 

  • Had colonoscopy yesterday , did several biopsies and a hot loop polypectomy on the left side , feel so bloated ( but gas all gone!!) and the pain on the left side is awful , I'm taking co- codamol and buscopan which gives me some relief. Am so scared of my first poop so eating very little the spasms when they come make me feel nauseous , I feel so miserable as I'm supposed to be back at work Monday 

  • Hi,

     

    I am in the same position at the moment. Had a colonoscopy (and gastroscopy) two days ago and the following day after the procedure I have had awful left sided flank pain! Today the pain is more concentrated in the mid left side of my stomach.  Can anyone kindly tell me how long this pain lasted for them?  I am rather worried as my cat startled me the morning after my procedure and I moved rather quickly and since then the pain has been bad. 

     

    Thank you.

  • When I had my first Colonoscopy, which was very uncomfortable, and they removed a 20mm polyp, I had  sharp pains and discomfort in the area it had been removed from, and blood in my stools for about two weeks after, but it did get better after that. I would defo go back to your doctor consultant if it's not significantly better be after two weeks though. 

  • Hi - Did your pain subside on it's own?

    I had Colonscopy 5 days ago. I had nausea following day which went the day after. Yesterday I had the mid left flank pain you have - it is about one hand length wide (8 inches) and continues into today. It is persistent dull ache. Pharmacist told me to take 2 paractemol every few hours and to go back to medical team and / or GP if it didn't improve in 2/3 more days. I think I will have to tough it out. I had one small (3mm) Polyp removed and diagnosed with diverticulosis but that is a different kind of pain (when the diverticula get inflamed etc.)
