When they do knock you out, you should be out by the time the stuff goes in.
Yeah, pumping the air and water in is weird feeling, but generally shouldn’t be that painful.
The wife and I each had 2 and it’s time for a third. For us it was the prep (drinking that horrible crap) that was the issue.
I’m thinking the clinic you got sent to might not have been that great. Sorry for your experience, but that much pain is pretty unusual.
Have you had a catheter shoved up your pee-hole? Now that will freak you out, plus you can see it happening.
Colorectal cancer is increasingly found in younger folks. It’s likely you’ll start to see doctors start testing everyone at 45 instead of 50. That is, unless it runs on your family and then they should start much sooner.
