colonscopy pain. experience
Posted , 4 users are following.
So I realise most colonscopy are painless but for those who experienced pain how bad was it?
Curious because I wont be able to be sedated even if I wanted to be, because i am on my own.
I once to save time had a filling fitted without any painkillers, would the pain be more than this?
Also what worries me most is I will be taking public transport, will I have to worry about unfortuante accidents on the way back ? or even to after taking laxatives?

Hi- I opted for no sedation as always want to be awake and in control!
It wasn’t too bad at all - could talk through most of it- just a couple of times when they put more air in- I breathed through the pain- this only happened a couple of times.
I agree the prep is the worst- was retching towards the end.
Afterwards - I had no issues the rest of that day so you should be fine on the bus. Good luck😊

having a weak bladder, taking anything that makes me want to go to the toilet worries me :] but i think my mind is at rest.
even given the choice I wouldnt want sedation, I have a fear of being put to sleep and not waking, i want to know when i die
sounds like the pain/discomfort wont be anything i couldnt bear.
I do feel its unfair that single people dont get the option of sedation. surely we dont need a bed just somewhere to sit for a while.
