You need to be seen: by the doctor who did the procedure. You could be quite ill. No one should guess at this diagnosis without knowing exactly what was done and without examining you. Good luck.

My mom has chronic upper left abdomen, upper back pain & ribcage pain. She had nausea for a while but it stopped. She saw a small amount of blood in her stool twice. Does this point to lung, colon or pancreas cancer? Can a benign cause explain this?
