Colonoscopy painful? Do we get put to sleep?

Having one soon in London does it hurt? What option do we have like being put to sleep etc? And how long does it take

    You are right, the professionals should be more upfront about the risk which is obviously significant and can have a terrible impact. I guess they are wary of over-stating this side of things in case it causes people excessive worry.
