I had a colonoscopy on Monday, May 4th, I have had terrible lower back pain ever since. I was on my back when they put me to sleep, having had one of these before I know you are turned over. I have a bad back, I have not hurt in this for YEARS, 8 days later, I still cannot lift, walk upstairs, get up from sitting or raise my legs high to put clothes on without TERRIBLE pain!
Dear friend, thank you for your consultation.it seems that you are in severe pain after colonoscopy. From my day to day clinical practice I know a pain is common after a colonoscopy. But this kind of uncommon severe back pain makes me think that some non-judicious use of investigation procedure that is either it was done by some less skilled person. Also there is a chance that after the procedure some infection has occurred in your colon because the procedure was not done aseptically. Now you should contact your surgeon for an investigation if there is any infection or any tear of colonic tissue has happened due to procedure. I hope with proper investigation and taking antibiotic for infection will help you to get cured of this pain.my best wishes for you. Thank you.
