Pain after colonoscopy

Im currently experiencing a flare up and had a colonoscopy on Friday. I have a really dull ache in my right side which is where i do often find pain anyway. But ive also started with a cold so coughing and sneezing which is making my tummy pain agony.
Do you think the colonoscopy has aggravated it more, making the pain worse? Or is it normal to have tummy pains after the procedure. Not had a colonoscopy for so long i cant remember how i felt last time. Thanks

Did they find narrowing on the colonoscopy or inflammation? I am usually aggravated by a colonoscopy for a few days as well.

I'm sorry you're feeling worse after the colonoscopy :( While that's not uncommon, if it is causing you mental duress, give your doctor a call and run things by them. At the very least, maybe they'll allow you to feel more comfortable with the situation.

All my best to you.
