Am really deflated today. Spent all night and morning drinking the vile drink and gagging on it only for the price deduce to be ceased immediately due to the extreme pain I was in. The day cor asked if I'd had pelvic surgery which I have had (c section and laparoscopy). He said it wasn't uncommon for it to be so painful if you'd had these surgeries. I had a rectal biopsy but the drink was a waste of time as they couldn't get further than rectum. I was nearly in tears. Doctor said alternative is CTVcolonoscopy. Has she else had this? I know you need the dreaded drinks.....but any experiences round be gratefully read.
