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.

  • To try to counter balance the bad experiences, I have had to have 2 colonoscopies in the past month, I chose gas and air for both. Yes it was uncomfortable but it's a weird pain I felt like an alien trying to burst out but without the finale. I would choose gas and air again and the benefits of the procedure definitely out way short term discomfort. As a side note it helps to chat to the staff, takes your mind if things.
