>>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.

I have had two colonoscopies and was given Propofol both times.  I was completely "out" and never knew a thing.  Yet I was wide awake as soon as the procedure was done, not groggy at all.
