Pain After Endescope

[Amber M]

I had the endescope with biopsy on last Wens. On Thursday evening I had the worst ocular and head migraine with severe visual disturbances. Then last night, my lower right abdomen was in pain and burning inside. Now I have upper right intestine pain and burning with alot of noise. My stool shows no blood that I can see and I have no fever or vomiting. Does this sound normal to anyone?

If your pain is getting worse and not decreasing you may want to contact your doctor. If you call his office they will be able to contact him or his on call person. You shouldn't be having increasing pain although some discomfort is not unusual. Did they send you home with a new med you haven't had before? If so did you check if it was gluten free? If they haven't diagnosed you yet they may not have been concerned about gluten in any oral med they gave. This would include any oral prep like valium or the numbing spray for the back of your throat. IV meds are gluten free as are inhaled sedatives. If you decide you are not in enough pain to contact the doctor be sure to let him know what happened after the procedure. The headache could have been a reaction to the sedative they used and they should be told.
