The pain you describe may or may not be related to the colonoscopy but you and your doctors, your primary care physician (PCP) and the doctor who did the colonoscopy, need to know for sure.  You especially need to know if it is related to the colonoscopy, as this would most likely require further treatment.

You should call to arrange to be examined, by either your doctor or the colonoscopist as soon as possible.  You should also have a chest x-ray.  If neither doctor can see you, you should go to the nearest ER.  This could be serious, so you must not delay.
