My family doc is beginning to think i have endo as well, I can't get into the gyne until Sept 22! Anyways last fall I had a colonscopy done while in hospital for a week with what at first was appendcitis then got turned into a bowel problems wiht no bowle symptoms (more docs that didn't listen) anyways mine was very painful as well, half way through they had to give me more medicaiton, but my best friend slept through one...i think its very individual, pain is very subjective and they inject air into the bowel and sometimes the corners are harder to get around in some ppl then others and everyone will react different to it. You're not a wimp as for it relating to endo, not sure on that one.
