colonoscopy pain

i had a colonoscopy on 6th october 2018 it was really painful and the consultant didnt care i was screaming for him to stop and all he said was that it was taking him too long with all my screaming, he eventually aborted the procedure and used a smaller camera which was a little better but not much. he didnt go right to the end of my colon and was very dismissive about my trauma.I felt very let down as nothing was explained to me at all, only that as far as he could see there was no cancer, so what were the lesions on my colon that were seen on a ct scan. I will be reporting this as soon as i can. and by the way NO the sedation didnt work.

  • Hi, sorry to read this.

    I have a history of colon cancer in close family so have had a few of these.  The first two or three were completely painless, slight discomfort but no more.  The last one they attempted to do was excruciatingly painful and I had to make them stop.  Apparently there was a kink/twist in the bowel that they were trying to push through.

    I have had the previous two via CT colonoscopy - these are so much better.  Push for a re-exam via CT, it is well worth it.
