Colonoscopy

I had a colonoscopy today , I opted for the gas and air as my friend whos had the procedure said was a little uncomfy but my god I was in terrible pain screaming when they got the camera up , they only managed to get the cam up 20 cm and had to stop , they said they couldnt offer sedation as id still feel the pain . They are giving me a CT scan but im now worried sick . Why is it so painful for some and others not ?

  • Hi Lennie ,

    I had a Colonoscopy on 12th June. I had fentanyl and midazolam as a painkiller/anaesthetic. I was having 7/10 pain in abdomen and anus on standard pain killers without a hose shoved up there so asked for the max dose!!

    I don't know why it's more painful for some.

    I hope your CT scan results come back clear.

    Take Care.
