Take deep breath…
Today, because of my life situation, I was told I'll have to have a colonoscopy without anesthesia. FML

Today, I had to get a colonoscopy. Which wouldn't have been so bad if they had removed the camera from my rectum before waking me up. FML

Today, my colon got perforated during a routine colonoscopy. Apparently, it's a rare complication and I have no legal recourse. So now I'll need to use a colostomy bag for the next 6 months until I can get surgery to fix their mistake. FML

What a way to spend the day
Today, I was informed by my proctologist that my colonoscopy has been rescheduled for my birthday. FML

Today, the medication I’ve been taking has caused me to become constipated for so long I'm now unable to go, because all my poop is a solid mass in my bowels no stool softener can touch. So a surgeon is either going up my ass with a hose and a spoon, or cutting open my stomach to remove it. FML

Today, at the age of 25, for the first time in my life, I was lying mostly naked in front of a man while he was inserting something in my body. Too bad that man was a doctor and that thing was a colonoscopy. FML

Today, I'm recovering from colon surgery. They gave me codeine as pain relief, which has made me constipated. I'm currently sat on the toilet, trying to push out what feels like a small child wrapped in barbed wire out without busting my stitches. FML

Today, I got my colonoscopy results back. I had hoped they'd show what's been causing my stomach pains for the last few weeks, but instead it turns out that my colon is healthy and normal. I basically got cornholed for no goddamn reason. FML

Shit happens
Today, my husband had a colonoscopy. Having spent yesterday hearing him complain about having only clear liquids and having to drink the required solution, he still was not cleaned out. We have to reschedule with two days of clear liquids. FML

Today, I had my anus probed twice by two different doctors. I was diagnosed with hemorrhoids. I'm a 22 year old guy and have to schedule a colonoscopy for next week. I guess there's a first time for everything. FML

Drained
Today, after following the directions and drinking a gallon of what can only be described as an industrial strength laxative for a scheduled colonoscopy. I shit my brains out for nearly 12 hours. The hospital then called and canceled my procedure an hour before my arrival time. FML

You still have a right to be upset, but it’s only light sedative they use anyway and the camera is smaller than any poo you’ve ever done, it won’t so much hurt as it will just be awkward being in a room full of people while they have a look around down there

Are you sure they weren't just using fancy language to tell you to "shove it up your ass!" It's the prep beforehand that is the real pain in the ass.

It's not the camera that is the problem.. they have to fill the bowel and large intestine with air to freely move the camera and actually be able to see everything. *That* is where it gets rather uncomfortable.

OP didn’t say they couldn’t have pain relief though, only that they wouldn’t be able to have aesthetic, almost all my patients have woken up towards the end of their colonoscopy with no concerns
