Hi everyone. I had to go for a colonoscopy yesterday as I have been suffering with going to the toilet too often. I was so apprehensive about having the procedure done. I had to take 3 sachets of a clear out solution in the days prior. This was actually not too bad. The actual procedure of the colonoscopy was pain free. It didn't hurt at all. I don't think the sedation they gave me worked too well as I felt everything and remember everything even now after the procedure. I just wanted to post this on here in case anyone is worrying about having a colonoscopy done... Dont, it's absolutely fine. Thankfully the results were clear bar a small polyp that was removed there and then causing no pain. There are no nerve endings in your bowel so the whole procedure and camera can't even be felt.  So...if you get asked if you want to be referred for a colonoscopy, do it. It's worth it. I hope this helps someone
