Can Curve Colon Causes Stomach Pain After Colonoscopy?

Hi, thank you. I had a colonoscopy on July 3rd and although I have a high threshold of pain, the doctor himself described my procedure as "torcherous" as he said my colon was one of most curved ones he had seen! He couldn't get into what I think was 13 cm of the colon. Since then, and it's now July 16th, I've been having awful stomach pains (which I never usually get) - some days are worse than others. Two days after it was so bad that I tried to go to Emergency, but couldn't get dressed, and thankfully fell asleep. Today, I'm having problems too - is it worth going to Emerg? and does anyone know if the colon being curved could cause this much pain after the fact?



Thank you very much in advance
