I had my first colonoscopy 2 days ago and was more worried with the prep than the colonoscopy itself, I was very wrong as I never felt anything after the nurse and the doctor said they gave me the sedation and I remember everything, my story is similar to all in here to be honest. I have pelvic pain around 3 years on right side and very painfull period cramps but the GP only send me to perform ultrasounds which were coming all normal and said its stress, and I thought ok my work is really stressful and husband and kids. So I quit my job, I improved for 2 months, had shingles in May and after that I feel my life just colapsed I got better from the shingles and started having irregular periods basically had 4 times in the last 2 months and a severe pain on pelvic area more on left side, I managed to get a face to face with the GP which its really hard nowadays and she refered me for a colonoscopy (2weeks) and was very quick I was contacted to perform first a FIT ( which was really dificult to do as I was with loose stool for 1 month) but I send it anyway and aparently it was positive, only found out because it was on the colonoscopy report. The doctor that started the process and the pain started and I told them and I started screaming because it was unbearable and both the doctor and the nurse only saying for me to pass gaz and to be quiet and I thought maybe I am overreacting as everyone I talked said the worst was the prep, so I tried to no scream much and I did pass the gas but didnt helped at all and I just wanted them to finish, which they did but the doctor never come to speak with me, he said that all was good even though he took a lot of samples and because the scan is right in your face I could see some lesions or blood on the screen, I don’t understand why the doctor didnt come to speak with me. I am still waiting for the sedation to do the job but after 2 days probably not going to happen. Sorry for the long post, but I was felling crazy and after seeing here so many stories I felt that I could just vent.
