What Causes Pain In Foot After Colonoscopy?

A day and half after a colonoscopy, my mother began experiencing terrible pain in her foot. Couldn't walk, went to dr., and dr said she had an infection, gave her an antibiotic injection and told her to go to the hospital. Do you know what it could be? They did remove 2 polyps.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is likely to be infection. After colonoscopy only infection can give you a pain.

I also suggest you to take a injectable antibiotics and than visit to the hospital immediately.

You can take tramadol tablet under your doctors guidance for pain. But there after hospitals visit is necessary.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
