"Colonoscopy Shock"

About: Peterborough City Hospital / Gastroenterology

(as the patient),

Had the worst shock of my life! The most excruciating and unbelievable pain even continued for a few minutes after the instrument was quickly removed. Not anxiety, not wind. I didn't get pumped up as they only got to the sigmoid bit? I had gas and air, nothing else. I had nightmares which left me feeling emotionally disturbed. I had an intense pressure pain in my bottom before they even started. I wasn't at all prepared for this agonising experience. I'm still feeling upset and shocked as it was horrifying.
