Colonoscopy painful? Do we get put to sleep?
I didn't have any - I believe they would have if they had found them. I was conscious throughout and epxerienced at most 2-3 minutes of pain - like extremely bad trapped wind.

I have to have one soon - I had a flexible sigmoidoscopy and they found SESSILE POLYPS which are pre cancerous - I am so damn angry that I have to suffer more now. I also have 3rd degree piles.
Having to take those vile SENOKOT AND PICOLAX which will really hurt my piles just for starters.
I told the CONSULTANT that I did not want any more pain,misery,stress.
So, now I have 3 days to decide whether I go for that full colonoscopy.

Sorry to hear that. At the time I had my colonoscopy, I was suffering from stage 3B anal cancer - with bleeding and acidic discharge leaving me with an extremely sore backside. I was very worried but they were able to put some numbing gell on the area and I didn't feel it.

When I had the sigmoidoscopy at the last minute it was not very nice and I said STOP IT RIGHT NOW

I found this whole thing really painful and unpleasant. I cried out in pain and would highly recommend getting a sedative if you can. The camera turning the corners it a sharp jab of severe pain for several minutes. I honestly couldn’t cope with those bits. I found it awful but had to be done and I know that. Just wish I’d taken sedative as would have really helped

9 gastroscopies, 3 colonoscopies and a pill cam later, i have never had sedation or pain relief. Not trying to appear macho and tough, we are all differant.For me a colonoscooy is uncomfotable with occasional, short lived bad cramps as they navigate the corners. The pain is very manageable with deep breathing and only lasts a few seconds. The prep is by far the worst bit. Moviprep is disgusting to drink and certainly needs will power to complete but please make sure you do. A clean bowel is key to a successful exam. The last thing you want is for the Doc to be unable to see the tissue .At best they will have to abandon the procedure and rescedule, at worst they could miss importent tissue markers and polyps.
My wife gave birth to my 2 sons without pain relief due to the speed of delivery, now that is pain!!!, at least for her

Hi I had a colonoscopy couple of years ago they supplied me with a small plastic bottle with a nozzle liquid already inside you lay on side insert nozzle squeeze within 3 minutes you have to be on toilet or its to late you take this before going to the hospital it really cleans you out, I had an hours journey to hospital every thing still cleaned out. Camera slightly painful more it felt like a lot of gas.

I've just had mine scheduled for three weeks time. Needless to say the anxiety levels are through the roof. Thank you for this post.It's very easy to get really scared when people post their experiences. This research really helps my anxiety. I'm going in with no sedation as I'm even more scared of needles that colonoscopy. Hopefully I can be one of the 80%.
