A member asked:

Just had colonoscopy yesterday, nothing hurt except for my legs. they feel cramped up but the pain started when i got home.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leg cramps: this is due to the preparation drinks. this could cause electrolyte imbalance. drink more juice to replace what ever mineral you lost during the preparation
