For the Baby Boomer generation please. Do Colonoscopy's hurt??


Question:
Doctor suggested one because of my age. Can anyone quell my fears??Only serious answers to this question please.

Answers:
Hi, I'm 50 years old and had one done (because of consistant urging of my spouse) not by choice, laffing. Uncomfortable at the most, no one told me I shouldn't drink any carbonated liquids before the test, so I realy suffered afterwards. My spouse also did this test with no problems what so ever. I advise do it, although it's a little embarrassing it will give you great peace of mind. Cancer of the colon is a serious problem, so just get 'er done. I hope this helped. No it doesn't hurt!!

Other Answers:
They will put you to sleep for a short while and you won't remember a thing.It's perfectly painless but very necessary to rule out colon cancer.
