To anyone out there I'm scared to death to get another colonoscopy due to the air that is used and just scared of the pain that I know will occur afterwards! Can this procedure p**s off my colon and cause a flare up I know it's 2 months out but any information from anyone who have followed thru with colonoscopy after being diagnosed with diverticulitis would be greatly appreciated The GI doc said it's necessary because cat scans even with contrast doesn't give her a clear view that a colonoscopy will Not wanting to b doubled over again nervous as a cat !! Any advice from anyone who has gone through this will lower my stress level Thanks

Hi ellen, why don't you ask for colonoscopy with sedation so you feel nothing afterwards

I will definitely ask that I think that now that it's not constant pain I'm so fearful that by putting air and a scope in my colon will b back in severe pain again from the invasion of the scope Maybe a psychological thing

Naturally you are fearful, but doing it with sedation is so much better, you will fall asleep, wake up when it's finished and will have no pain, best of luck let us know how you get on
