A member asked:

Why dose my middle of lower back hurt after a colonoscopy ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should go away: The pain should go away. If it persists or gets worse, see your doctor or go to the er. It could be gas, or the way you laid on the table. There is a small chance your colon was perforated.
