Colonoscopy

Whingey

Thanks everyone ☺️ Primrose it wasn't that bad and didn't take long.The powder to empty me out was worse and kept me awake for hours but its all done now 😊

I also hated the preparation medication, by the time I got to the hospital I was exhausted and very sore. I found the actual procedure very unpleasant, apparently part of my bowel was very restricted and it was a horrible sensation.

I've had quite a few colonoscopies. The prep is definitely the hardest part. The person doing it was grateful I'd followed the laxative instructions as she said it helps them to see better. I've had polyps treated during the procedure & can honestly say I wasn't in any pain. I'm just glad these procedures exist. After all what are the alternatives?

I must have avery twisty bowel, as my colonoscopy was extremely painful. So glad that others' experiences were better!
