Hi all..had my first colonoscopy yesterday...procedure went well..I am 55....my doctor had what I believe was a very intense prep..

I had to take four Ducalox pills then drink 64 ounces of liquid with a whole small bottle of Miralax...I had to do that in two hour time span the night before procedure..

Then the day of procedure at 6:30 am I had to drink 32 more ounces of liquid with another small bottle of Miralax...

Before I started the final prep my side was already hurting...

Now, I am about 28 hours after procedure and my stomach/back still hurts...

I have taken Gas X thinking gas pains but don't think its still that...

Has anybody had something like this?
