Nervously awaiting ct colonoscopy scan
Posted , 4 users are following.
I am waiting for an appointment for my first ct colonoscopy scan to determine if I have diverticulosis. I have been having pain on and off on my left side for quite a while, my other symptoms are excessive wind and pelvic pain which has only recently started. I have not experienced severe pain fortunately but I need to find out what's wrong for peace of mind. I have read from people on this forum that a ct colonoscopy scan is quite painful when the air is pumped into the rectum. I am a but nervous now about having it done, my doctor didn't tell me she just said it was less invasive than a colonoscopy using a camera. Has anyone got some reassurance? Regards Kate

with the firsr one .Quite frankly I do not know where the GREAT PAIN from blowing
a bit of wind up. It was a bit of a strange feeling, but nothing you won't forget
almost as soon as they have done it/ You may get some pain if you are very
stressed ,because you will clench your butt .and it will contract,and make it
difficult for the camera to slide.
They will tell you everything they are doing, there's even one technician who
will hold your hand
So, watch the monitor and relax, it will soon be over, Then you can hav a cup
of tea
