Had A Colonoscopy, Pain During The Procedure, Abdomen Hurts. Reason?

I recently had a Colonoscopy, and I was told I would be put to sleep and wouldn't feel a thing. That was so not true. I had horrible pain during the procedure and I had something to compare it to, because I had one before which was totally painless. This time I not only had a lot of pain, but my abdomen hurt all week. I felt like someone had punched me in the abdomen.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As already colonoscopy done on previous occasion and now again , you main complaint is pain during procedure and even after 7 days pain present.
In my opinion reason may be 1 stricture formed due to previous procedure.
2 Operating doctor may not be an expert.
3 Proper anesthesia may have not used or may have not acted properly.
Any how take pain killers for 2-3 days .
Still pain persist then consult doctor concerned .
Good luck. Dr. HET
