Conlonoscopy - I found Mr Khushal to be very pleasant and polite. I experienced no issues while he was performing the procedure other than discomfort as the test scope maneuvered around the splenic flexure and hepatic flexure. This discomfort was to be expected when the colonoscopy is performed without sedation/premedication. I chose to have no sedation/premedication for the procedure. My experience with the procedure: Post procedure I am still experiencing abdominal discomfort in the area of the ileo-caecal junction / appendix. This is the region from which a sessile polyp was resected and endoclip applied. My colonoscopy was performed on 5th Nov. 2023 and I am still in discomfort as of 28th Jan 2024, nearly 3 months later. My colonoscopy was performed as part of the "Bowel Cancer Screening Programme". After a few days post colonoscopy, when the discomfort did not subside, I telephoned the Bowel Cancer Screening team for advice. They appeared not to want to take any responsibility for my post colonoscopy issues and informed me that I would have to follow up with my GP for further investigation. At the time of writing, I am still awaiting an appointment to see a colorectal specialist. Prior to the colonoscopy I felt absolutely fine, post colonoscopy I have been in constant discomfort.
