Should I Be Worried As I Am Having Abdominal And Lower Back Pain?
I had a colonoscopy a week ago due to ongoing constipation these last 5 years making sure everything was ok. My colon looks fine and my gi doc prescribed me lizness to help keep me regular. The first 3 days it gave me diarrhea, but these last few days I haven t been able to go and am suffering major abdominal pain and lower right back pain. I ve even been taking miralax with lizness and nothing. Should I be worried it is something more serious?

Hi.
The best thing is that you had colonoscopy a week ago , hence this pain can not be due to colonoscopy.
The pain in abdomen and back can be due to constipation itself.
Try a soap water enema and see if the pain is relieved.
