I am scheduled to have a Colonoscopy next week - which will be my third.
My first was prior to my diagnosis of Bowel Cancer in 2019, & I opted for sedation; which was a very short examination, as the camera couldn't go pass the mass in my Colon, & so, it was a painless procedure.
My next one was one year after my diagnosis, & I chose gas & air, as I wanted to drive myself there & back. I found that quite a painful procedure.
I don't intend on sedation next week, but this thought came into my mind - 'Are Colonoscopies more painful for skinny people?' & so I googled it.
& according to AI they are - according to clinical evidence.
TBH - I wish I hadn't asked!
Oh no, I am awaiting an appointment for a colonoscopy and am on the skinny side.I have no one to collect me so sedation is out
Wishing us both well
