Just had a colonoscopy and won't ever have another

Tuesday this week I too had this test done. What utter rubbish about how it doesn't hurt and you won't remember it. I screamed the place down for a full hour whilst I was brutalised from inside. My meds were topped up during the nightmare, but didn't work. I checked on the potency of Fentanyl and found it to be 10 times that of morphine. Well, having had my fair dose of morphine recently, I can say that this drug had no affect on me whatsoever. Two days later and I am still feeling bruising to my stomach. I wish I had read all of these comments, I would have declined it. For some reason, I felt unsure about this test, but told myself not to be stupid. Having just recovered from a very bad riding accident with a colapsed lung, broken back, arm and shoulder and 13 rib breaks, not to mention torn shoulder ligaments, I am no stranger to pain. This however, was a whole different ball game. Never, never, never again. Anyone considering going through this, ask to be given full anaesthesia. My test was done at the RBH in case you're considering it.
