It is very unusual for a lower GI series to be painful. Generally that would not be the case unless a person had Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or severe rectal or anus problems.

As to your friend's colonoscopy: she may not have been given a sedative but just an analgesic. If a sedative doesn't do the job they can utilize a short acting general anesthetic such as proporfol instead. I react to Versed and my gastro ordered the general anesthetic instead for my next colonoscopy.

Mainly center pain such as you mention could be bladder or could well be small intestine. When I had the pain in the center just above the pubic bone it turned out to be a very unhappy, irritated bladder. An antibiotic cleared that up. Altho w/a negative urine culture it well could have been Interstitial Cystis. Fortunately, it wasn't.

>No I have never had a colonoscopy but had a lower GI series when I was a teenager and will never forget it. Very painful. Also a friend of mine just went for a coloscopy and said it hurt alot when they were going around the cornors. She wasn't drowsy at all and was wide awake. That would be me because I would be so worked up that the medicine wouldn't work on me. Mind over matter. The pain I have is very low center goin. Actually the thole lower groin hurt all the way across but not on the lower right or left.Mainly center.Thank you all for your help.
