You don't say exactly where the pain is or how long you've had it, so it's harder to try and answer your question. Also, did you have an EGD or ERCP? That might make a difference.
Generally speaking, if it hasn't been long, it could be gas. During endoscopy they put air in front of the scope to help see everything, and sometimes it takes a while to dissipate. While gas doesn't sound like much, it can be really painful.
Are you having symptoms other than pain, like vomiting or anything? If you'd like to discuss this further, please write back with a little more detail and we'll try to help you find some resources. In the meantime, keep pushing your doctor to give you an answer.
