I saw my PCP and told him there was rectal bleeding and he immediately said I need a colonoscopy. However, the last time I had one I almost got a perforation. The doctor had to stop the procedure. That was a year ago. During the procedure I felt a burning, searing pain which was not normal so I know it was dangerous. Needless to say I am in a dilemma. I want to get this checked out and at the same time I am quite scared of risking another possible perforation. This is due to the fact that my colon is extremely angulated.
Has anyone had a negative experience with a colonoscopy or have a difficult colon? Thank you for replies.
