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 i was referred for a colonoscopy on the 2 week pathway due to bleeding weightloss and pain, I had colonoscopy before 3 years ago  with no issues just slight discomfort, but this colonoscopy yesterday was horrendous the worst pain I've ever experienced it's up there with passing gallstones and child birth with I've had and done 

    the sedation didn't kick in it was rushed and was given gas and air which was useless, the doctor kept saying don't do that when I was crying out in pain, the male  nurse was way too  rough pulling me about  there are bruises on my stomach and side I was in tears I felt totally violated and screaming out in pain crying, I have narrowing in my Bowel  due to diverticulitis the colonoscopy couldn't be completed and I've been  referred for a CT scan
