Failed colonoscopy

Hope someone could help me.i had colonscopy yesterday.the sedation didnt work and I cried in pain.it was just so painful so they had to stop. I didnt realise it will be that bad.i had endoscopy last year,which wasnt as bad as this. They will now send me for ct virtual scan of bowel.can anyone who has had that tell me is it as bad as the colonoscopy.im dreading it.i just let myself down as I wanted answers on my symptoms

  • This happened to me this morning. The pain was unbearable, so I too will be referred for a CT scan. I have had one of those before and it's a walk in the park compared to what I just went through earlier. Although I have been told no cancer was detected with the colonoscopy, I will be happier once I have the CT scan. 

  • Hi ,  it is painful isnt it.i feel much better about going for ct.but it's the blowing air inside bowels that still scaring me. But I need it done.having tummy ache for over 3 months now.so I need to get bottom of it. I had bad health after breast cancer in sep 2019. Even had eye injections for clot in eye.that wasn't as bad colonoscopy.i still think dr didnt give enough sedation.glad to hear cysts were removed
