What Causes Lower Back Spasms After Incomplete Colonoscopy?
I attempted to have a colonoscopy and the doctor could not complete it. He said i was showing to much pain and he couldn t get anymore than a third way done. Ordered a barium xray. He said he thinks its scare tissue from a previous surgery causing the problem. Since the attempted colonoscopy my lower back has spasms. I guess im wondering why he couldn t do it? I had one done 5 years ago and had no problems. The surgery he s referring to was 25 years ago.???

Hello,
The pain in the lower back could be related to irritable bowel syndrome, probably caused by the traumatic colonoscopy. So, I would recommend taking an antismasmodic drug, like dicyclomine to help improve your situation.
