Hello everyone,
I'm really depressed right now and feeling hopeless. I was scheduled for a colonoscopy today and after drinking all of the prep and going an entire two days without eating (I threw up some of the prep, too), they brought me in, hooked me up to everything that they needed to, and brought me into the room.
but...they couldn't even get halfway up my colon because I was in so much pain. Apparently I was yelling that it hurt and they kept uping the sedative...but...they reached the limit to how much they could give me and I was still in a lot of pain. They said everything at the spots they could see looked normal...but...I'm still really, really upset that they couldn't continue...I don't wanna do the prep again...and they said if I DO have to do it again...they'll have to knock me out completely...I cried the entire ride home. I went through all of that for nothing... They said that a lot of times that happens the patient's intestines are inflamed...and they said it's very much likely IBS?! I'm really doubting them saying that what I'm going through is simply IBS...because I'm still in pain all of the time and constantly wake up at night from the pain.
Ugh..has this ever happened to anyone? He hardly got up through my colon at all, he only reached about 1/4th of it before they had to stop...I'm just really depressed right now...
