Post Endoscopy/colonoscopy Symptoms

[evilg12505]

Hi

My name is Melissa and I'm 16 years old. I went through both colonoscopy and endoscopy just fine, its just the afterwards im having problems with. I have massive pain in my lower abdomin that was worse then when i first got the procedure done. I've been taking gas pills and doing everything I can to expell but it seems liike nothing is working. Is this normal?

Hi Melissa and welcome. It's hard to say what is normal, I slept a lot after. The gas pain should pass shortly but if it doesn't I would call your doctor.

I had those tests done seperately but the gas pain was horrible from the colonoscopy (test done first) and I actually took a warm/hot bath and that helped. I then took a nap and felt much better.

For the endoscopy I just was tired from the meds given to relax you.

My whole stomach hurt. Kind of burning or something. I think from all the biopsies they did. I had both at the same time too. Anyway, Tylenol helped me. My problem wasn't so much gas. My mom was in pain longer then I was, but she had a polyp removed.

I didn't have much discomfort from the gas post-colonoscopy, but I did have alternating chills/sweats for about 3 days afterwards. I mostly was just STARVING after the colonoscopy.
