Post Colonoscopy procedure medical problem

I was looking for other people who had a bad colonoscopy, and may have ongoing problems from the procedure. I turned 50, so the colonoscopy was advised. It has been over a year now since the colonoscopy and my bowels still are not the same. All I remember about the procedure is feeling the scope poking me internally causing alarming pain, which I verbally expresssed. So, the doctor sedated me further, and the rest of the procedure is unclear to me. When I recovered the surgeon relayed that she could not proceed beyond the colon into the intestines, so the test was unconclusive. Later I did read my records though, and apparently I became "combative". Probably this was a good thing, or else I may be worse off. I still get flare ups of gas, bloating, and severe discomfort in my lower abdominal area. My energy is compromised lately, but particularly at these flare up times. Since the procedures my stools have never been formed again but instead between loose and soft. Last Sunday I woke up with watery stool, so am seeking further support. But I suspect IBS caused by possible scaring from the procedure. Does anyone know of anyone who had a similar experience. This appears to be unusual, but it did happen to me!!  I am feeling pretty alone now.

 

I have had wind and bloating in the few days following a colonoscopy but nothing after that.
Have you seen a doctor about this?

i, too had a difficult colonoscopy 16 days ago. i had normal BMs prior to the procedure. after the examination under anesthesia with a flexible colonoscope i did not have any solid stool for 8 days until taking the second dose of miralax. during those 8 days, i tried dulcolax(2 tablets twice a day for 5 days) and a bottle of magnesium citrate which yielded only one watery movement only on the 6th day.
i went to the ucla gastroenterology clinic after 15 days of minimal bowel evacuation. the doctor said it was unusual to have this problem and ordered abdominal series of x-rays which showed a distended loop of ascending colon. he ordered a ct scan of the abdomen with oral and intravenous contrast material which showed this same air filled colon localized to the right mid and lower abdomen, but no definative cause. i had one small solid movement yesterday afternoon, but still feel i have a complication from the colonoscopy---has anyone experienced a similar problem after colonscopy?
