Painful Colonoscopy experience
Posted , 1 user is following.
My appointment was on Tuesday 30th January and the colonoscopy was supposed to take only half an hour.
I believe the gastroenterologist wasn't very professional as the whole procedure took over 2 hours and I was in agony the whole time.
They wouldn't sedate me and gave me gas and air which was useless.
After the procedure, I collapsed and had to stay in hospital for the remainder of the day.
I didn't get home until early Wednesday morning.
I did exactly what they told me to do the whole time, the prep was done properly and the breathing exercises. They found 3 polyps and removed them but said it was a challenging colonoscopy and have now booked me in for a virtual colonoscopy ( CT scan with camera ) in 3 weeks.
I will refuse to have both done ever again, If I can't have pain relief.
