Not unheard of.: Although it is not usual to have persistent pain after a colonoscopy, it is not unusual to have some discomfort for one to weeks afterwards. As long as the pain is mild and is improving, i would not worry about it. If it persists longer than two weeks or worsens abruptly, then i would contact your gastroenterologist immediately. Good luck!
