Failed colonoscopy

So yesterday I had this done and I was given sedation. I was really anxious and was the last 1 in ( had covid in last 90days) . I was fine didn't feel anything then all of a sudden got such immense pain, they gave me the gas n air ( didn't use the gas n air this much giving birth twice). Anyway 3 times I tried to let him carry on and just couldn't do it. So they stopped, removed 2 polyps and went to recovery. I felt it was very rush so much so the nurse had to run after the doctor as he had forgot to sign something on my forms and even she said was eager to get out. I suffer with other medical conditions and stress and anxiety make my condition worse. I now have to have this done again next week and I could honestly cry. I really don't want to try again. I will be last appointment again as only had covid in August. I am just so stressed out. Any advice would be lovely 

  • Hello Poppy40,

                         not sure if your other medical conditions will allow for it,but ask to be knocked out .When l went for mine l pointed out that l have a tendency to hit people inflicting pain upon my person,so l was put out cold sleeping like a baby--job done no fuss,, 

                                                                            hope its better for you second time around,
