I had a partial colonoscopy today. They had to stop because it was so painful! I stupidly had a cup of tea with milk one hour beforehand, and they refused to give me sedation so I opted to have it without.
What I'd like to know is why was it so excruciating going round the colon bends? The nurse was a heavy handed type, so could it have been her method?
I now have to go through it all over again, but I'm terrified of this pain, even if I have sedation, would I feel the same and is there any other scan I can have to replace this, or any other way?
