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.

  • I have had 3 now and each time is more painful than the one beforet. The sedation is not strong enough and I have had to abort twice due to pain.

    I do not see why they do not use stronger pain relief as the system they use just now does not work for all

     

    I will never have this done again now as it is traumatising.. the pain, the prep and the stigma of yelling like a baby while others just sail through it.

  • I had the strongest pain relief they can give...Fentanyl...It has 5,000 times the potency of heroin and 10,000 times the potency of morphine....but i was still in so much pain. No one has been able to explain this to me
