      Also what does the pain feel like? Is it dull,crampy,sharp?

      Because I had the exact same pain for 4 weeks after having flexible sigmoidoscopy. My GP said this is perfectly normal as its an invasive procedure. I believe the only time you should be concerned and go to a&e Is if the pain is really bad also if you have any blood in your bm. I hope that helps

    Hi, have you contacted your doctor, or had your results back yet?

    I get a lot of pain in my gut, not all the time and usually goes after a movement, but this is due to ibs, have your had this checked?

    Hope you get it sorted soon.
