Is It Normal To Have Pain After Colonoscopy? How To Overcome This?
I am in terrible pain after having a colonoscopy and banding of three haemorrhoids done 14 hours ago as day surgery at a hospital. I called an ambulance and they told me to keep taking paracetamol with codeine. They said there was no point in me going to emergency as they wouldn t do anything else. I am not getting any relief and have felt like I am fainting from the pain. It is 3.30am and I can t ring the surgeon until 9am. Is this normal and what pain relief options do I have ? Thanks, Stuart

Thanks for query.The pain you are experiences is due to banding of hemorrhoids. take regular pain killers but instead of that it is going to persist for 2 to 3 days its normal .don't worry its severity will wane off as time passes.regards
