colonoscopy procedure
Posted , 6 users are following.
i have just had a endoscopy and colonoscopy without sedation and no pain relief. After reading some of the stories about colonoscopy i was a little nervous to say the least. I need not have been. The colonoscopy was a cinch and apart from a dull stomach ache like pain it was actually quite pleasant and i would do it again tommorow. I dont know where people get these horror stories from but i experienced nothing of the sort. In fact i hardly noticed. So anyone worried about the procedure dont be, its painless even without sedation. The preparation wasnt as bad as people make out either.

I had sedation for both however was awake throughout both procedures and watched it on the screen. The worst bit about the colonoscopy was definately the "bowel preperation" (fleet) i was awake all night needed to go to the toilet and taking the second dose in the morning i was worried i wasn't going to stop needing to go to the toilet (luckily i did) however i think the reason i hated the fleet so much is because i suffer with upset stomach on a regular basis and drinking something that brings on that unpleasant experience isn't nice.
However it could of been worse! But as you say i have worse stomach aches than all of the processes so definately worth going through it if you need to be checked out!
