Pain In Abdominal And Lower Back. Polyps Removed, History Of Diverticulitis. Prescribed Librax. Correct Treatment?
I had a colonoscopy 2 weeks ago and had 4 polyps removed which were benign. I have a history of diverticulitis but no ruptures. I am still having lower left side abdominal pain and lower back pain even tho the Gastro said he thought the probem should be solved with removal of polyps. I am also taking Librax for what he described as colon spasms, but did not explain why my colon is spasming and how long I would need to take the medicine 4 times daily. without it I am in excruciating pain. He will not see me for a follow up for one month. should I seek a second opinion?

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic and thanks fot the query.
I dont thinh that polyps can cause such pain and removal of it shouldnt brinh any relief. diverticulosis as well unless there is diverticulitis which goes with such pain and then it should be treated by certain medicines. Spasms are usually caused by IBD or inflammatory bowel diseases and you need medicines until there are no symptoms. I suggest to do ct scan to verify is there some other cause of your pain beside bowels.
Wish you good health.
Regards
