A member asked:
Why would i have left-sided mid&upper back pain after an egd & colonoscopy? hurts more when eating and swallowing. biopsies were taken.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Invasive procedures,: such as EGD and colonoscopy, often cause discomfort afterwards, especially if biopsies are taken. Taking biopsies requires cutting out a tiny piece of the lining of your stomach and/or colon, it is normal for this to be painful. If it is painful to swallow, try drinking liquids and/or soft foods in order to allow your body to recover.
