Hello

I realise that your question is a few years old now and so I'm hoping you are much improved, or at least discovered the reason for your symptoms.

I'm responding as I had a colonoscopy a few days ago and I have dull aching in my lower abdomen.  My procedure took an hour and was extremely painful at times (good old drugs helped a bit though).  This is because ladies who have had a hyterectomy are more likely to have 'looping'... which I had in 2009....and it is more diffiuclt to get the camera around.   

I guess it makes sense that anything invasive like this, is going to take a few days to recover but I too would like ot know if this is 'the norm'.  It's not always easy to go back and ask questions after you have been discharged and a GP may not know the answer. 

All the best
