Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Yes if it was: a difficult scope. best to notify the endoscopist so that they can offer the best advice based on the difficulty of the procedure. If you are also running a fever with no other cause you should immediately notify the doctor who did the colonoscopy especially if it is not getting better or is getting worse
