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 had a colonoscopy on Monday the 20th of this week.   Oh my goodness, how I can relate, I was in agony, particularly on my left side. I could feel the tube as he was pushing it, upper left side.  The sedation is an absolute waste of space, I was fully awake throughout.  I'm not sure if it's down to the Doctor who is performing the procedure, he was rough. The last one I had, back in 2023 was bad enough, but this was worse.  

  • It does make you wonder about the sedation ,I've had it twice now and if they hadn't told me I was sedated I wouldn't have known ,like yourself I was wide awake watched everything that was going on ,answered questions etc ,makes you wonder .
