What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain After Colonoscopy?

I had a colonoscopy two days ago and test results were fine. Yesterday my abdominal area didn t feel right but the sight pain went away. Today I bent over after some light gardening work and had a severe pain in my back. Could this be related to the colonoscopy and if so, how long should I wait before seeking help?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of colonoscopy 2 days ago and you had slight pain which has gone away.
And now you developed severe back pain when you bent down.
This may not be related to the colonoscopy as the colonoscopy complications develop very fast and almost immediately on colonoscopy.
I would advise you in such a case the following:
See a Doctor urgently to have a clinical evaluation and examination of the abdomen and the back to see the cause and get investigated accordingly and get treated.
