colonoscopy pain

malf

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 had the same experience last year. I was holding onto the bed for dear life with the pain. They told me it was the air stretching the colon. I tried again with more sedation or so they said. It was excruciating. I had a sigmoidoscopy years ago and it was no bother at all

    I was left on the note that I'd get a scan. I've called twice but still to no avail. I've been left for almost a year now

     Still have stomach cramps diarrhea and constipation. I had a black tarry stool, I've had microscopic blood in my poo and now just thicker than an pencil stools. Abdominal pain when I eat too. 

    Left in Limbo.
