Failed colonoscopy feeling confused and scared

Evening

I was put on the fast track referral due to rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, lump on stomach  I had bloods done they sent me for an ultrasound because bloods showed issues with my liver. I was booked in for a colonoscopy yesterday. I requested sedation as gas n air makes me very ill. They started the procedure I was in so much pain, they made me change position several times but it was unbearable the dr was struggling to get the scope any further. They then stopped as I'd had maximum pain relief but the Dr couldn't continue because I was in agony. I've seen the report stating severe angulation and stiffening of sigmoid colon. Also it says

Clinically important comments: ? Abdominal mass, USS no further abnormality 

 

Any ideas what these comments mean? I'm now really anxious as they said the consultant will make a decision on whether I need colonoscopy under GA or CT colonoscopy 

I really don't want to go through the prep again as I struggled with the movi prep drink quite badly. Thank you for reading 

  • So sorry you went through all this and no complete result.

    I've had a few and find them really uncomfortable even with sedation and gas & air.

    One time they couldn't complete so had to go back for a bowel CT, the next time I needed one they used a finer scope, seemed to get round easier and was the easiest one for pain too.

    A mass is abnormal but not necessarily cancerous.

    Hope you get sorted soon. Waiting is torture. 

  • I’m just home from hospital and my colonoscopy was incomplete too.The surgeon couldn’t get camera past a large bulge so now Iv been sent home and waiting for an appointment for a CT scan.Mine was again too even with sedation .il have to go through the bowel prep medicine again and take more time off work.I just want to know what I’m dealing with.Its making so anxious and can’t sleep for worry.
