7 days after colonoscopy

Been nearly 7 days since I had my colonoscopy, still have sharp stomach pains around each of my sides and middle of my back, still haven't opened my bowels, has anyone else experienced this before? 

  • Hello Jodiee,

                        its normal for the bowel to take a few days to resume function after having been cleared out for a colonoscopy.l am also mindful that if you have a low daily food intake this will play a part and could lead to constipation,which it sounds like you may currently be "enjoying".Maybe a mild laxative may help things progress.l hope your colonoscopy was worth the effort and provided you with some positive answers,

  • Thanks David
