Hello,
It is quite common after colonoscopy and will settle by itself. As of now you can take analgesics like aceclofenac or tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
