Pain after colonoscopy

Diagnosed with Post Infection IBS few months back . Started experiencing on and off pain on left side . Gastro Dr said it was the colon and all part of the ibs . Had my colonoscopy yesterday afternoon to make sure it was nothing else . Had so much pain on left side once the anaesthetic wore off . Could hardly stand up straight . Took Panadol and slept with a hot water bottle . Woke up with the same pain today . Anyone that can help ?

I got Post infectious IBS too. I have left hand side pain if I haven't empty my bowel..bowel I mean diarrhea or very soft stool. Once that is flushed out then pain is gone. When I had my coloscopy I was in a lot of pain. My back I can't lie down. I had sit up straight with hot water bottle on my back and threw up a lot. For me it lasted a day but keep an eye on it if it get worst I will contact doctor

A day is good enough. I called today spoke to his secretary said he was in theatre and he will get back to me. So painful ! Don't seem like Panadol or Advil works here

Hot water bottle and olive oil before eating

Magic French Pepsane works better than Gaviscin

Thanks heaps but ff to the emergency dept now . Can't deal with it . Nothing is working . No hot bottle or Panadol they are no good. Called dr earlier on . His secretary called back and said shouldn't be from the procedure and I should go emergency . Very caring I thought . Wanker!
