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?

  • I have the same. I had mine on the 16th Jan with 4 biopsies taken and I'm still experiencing a lot of pain in my right hand side.
    I've had an abdominal scan since as I thought I'd better get it checked, everything showed up clear and I've just been given pain killers. I hope this helps.

  • Hi similar for me also. With 2 x 4mm polyps removed. Also have Diverticulosis. Previously diagnosed from a Sigmoidoscopy. I don't feel it's wind from the air to enlarge the intestines. I believe its more of a bruising cramps pain from food moving through. It's been 3 days and each day I feel a little better.

  • Hello I have had two colonscopies in three weeks, the las test was 17 Feb. Not a pleasant experience. Have one large poly removed plus 5 small ones. This time I am still experiencing some pain on my right hand side and lower back. Hopefully this will ease. But I haven't received any results from the biopsies. I did have one 2015 and never got any results! This was after diverticulitis. So I am not too hopeful. I am improving but vowed never to have another colonoscopy!
