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.

  • I was really lucky I guess with my consultant ...yes it was terribly painful but he offered to stop procedure a couple of times . And apologised for how uncomfortable it was for me. 

    I would definitely complain...also I was told a lot of the pain was caused by diverticulitis disease and an inflamed colon. Sadly this was followed by a cancer diagnosis and a secondaries
