That sounds awful!  At least it's all behind you now! (Pun intended, sorry - couldn't help it  )
Seriously, at least it's over and done with. Take it easy and enjoy those pretzels. They are my favorite comfort food. My thoughts are with you while you wait for results.

I woke up during my first colonoscopy in a lot of pain also. The doctor stopped after awhile because he couldn't get around the curve without me crying! So the next time I had one, he had me completely put under, and I didn't feel a thing.
My doctor told me the same thing about meds and IBS. And so far I think he's right. I've been on three different meds for my IBS, and while they seem to help me stabilize somewhat, nothing completely takes it away. On the other hand, my Crohn's is completely stable and considered in remission through medication (yeah!). I've come to accept that IBS is something I can try to stabilize through meds and diet but will have trouble sometimes no matter what I do.

Lordy, I'm glad I didn't hear all these stories before I went in for mine last week. I would have really been terrified. My doc said he would give me "good drugs" and I wouldn't feel a thing----and luckily, he delivered on his promise and I didn't feel a thing. It doesn't have to be painful, does it? I woke up and it was all over with, and I don't remember passing any gas, then or later.

I'm so sorry to hear what happened! At least you'll have some resolution to come out of it -- whether it is Crohns or IBS -- it might make treatment easier for you. I'm hoping for the best!
