Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain
I had a colonoscopy on 11/17/16 at 12noon and once I got home, I started getting severe lower back pain. I didn t have this pain prior to my procedure. I took Aleve and still not help with the pain. This is the only part that doesn t go away and wonder what might have gone wrong the make is so painful when I walked.

Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic.
low back pain usually come from irritating the sciatic nerve , dont worry the pain will vanish but it may take sometimes in some cases up to 6 weeks but it gradually vanishes completely try to use intramuscular analgesics or muscle relaxants patches on your back , sometimes side effects after colonoscopy are more severe with perforations , abdominal discomfort ,bloody stools .
you may have had your back bared towards a cold environment that may cause this pain
. healthcaremagic site doctors hope to assist you whenever needed
