Colonoscopy: It is not unusual to have mild "gas pains" for a few days after a colonoscopy. Unless the pain worsens, or you develop other symptoms such as fever, chills, or blood in your stool, you should be fine. Contact your gastroenterologist if any of the of the above occur, however. Good luck.

Pain: Minor Post colonoscopy pains may be normal but if you had abdominal distension, worsening pain , no flatus or no bowel movement, then it will be concerning and you need to see a doctor or go to an ED.
