It depends where was: the polyp. If it was inside your colon there should be no pain. If this was on the outside, sometimes more accurately called a skin tag, that could be sore for some time afterward. If it is 48 to 72 hours after the removal and you are still significantly sore, you should call and discuss with the person who removed the polyp.

Colon?: If this is a colon procedure, there may be some trauma in manipulating the scope. However if the pain fails to subside or gets worse in the next 24 hrs, call the doctor who did the removal.
