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.

  • Just wanted to reassure everyone who has read these posts, I read these posts as I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy today and was so terrified after reading this thread!! 
     

    You will be fine, I had the sedative for the endoscopy but was more awake for the colonoscopy and it was pain free. Just makes you feel like you want to go to the toilet. 
     

    I would have it again and not worry at all if I had to go back. 
     

    So sorry to read these bad experiences 

  • I had one in 2019 and it was just mildly uncomfortable. I think they are easier than endoscopies.....however I'm getting a colonoscopy next week so praying that it goes ok!
