pain after colonoscopy

I had a colonoscopy this morning and the GI found that my Chrohn's was active in the same area I had surgery on two years ago.  I have had many colonscopies to date and have never experienced any pain afterward.  However, I started to get cramps shortly after I arrived home and it gradually got much more painful as the day went on.  I called my GI and he said that the pain may just be from the exam and he wasn't concerned, since it went very smoothly.  He prescribed bentyl which I took and didn't really notice much of a difference in the pain.  Luckily I have some percocet left from a previous prescription, and I took one hoping to get a good night's sleep.

Although I do have pain on and off, it hasn't been this bad for quite a while.  Hope this isn't the start of another terrible flare.  Has anyone had this experience?  Thanks in advance for any responses.

Thanks for responding to my post.  The pain is a little better today.  I have no fever or chills.  If anything gets worse, will definitely check it out.  Just concerned because I've never experienced this before.

Thanks Nanners. I wouldn't mind if it was just cramps I was having. But I'm actually feeling the pain that I used to feel when my CD was active. Although I've had pain on and off previous to my Colonoscopy, I'm experiencing the same pain I had before my surgery two years ago (it's a very distinct kind of pain). I know the GI found lots of inflammation, but I just hope that this pain is just from the scope. Also, my bowels never really settled down and I've always had urgent-bathroom issues, but now I'm having completely liquid stools. Just don't feel this is normal for me after a colonoscopy. Expected the gas, which passed quickly, but not this pain. Never happened with all my other colonoscopies. Sorry for the long-story. Just worried that something went wrong (although my GI feels that everything went smoothly during the scope), or I'm in for another bad flare.
