“When you talk about the pain that you were feeling while you were having a colonoscopy, how severe was that pain? What kind of intensity were you talking about on a scale of one to 10?”
First of all, when he puts a colonoscopy right there, it's discomfort. Maybe 1, 2, 3. And when you go up to the descending colon, the splenic flexure, it goes to 8, 9, 10.
So tears started going down my eyes, and I was moaning: 10 out of 10. Now he's going to the transverse colon. It's seven out of 10. Now again, this other hepatic flexure, 10 out of 10. It's almost unbearable. Those two flexures are very hard, but it's lasting maybe 30 seconds and 30 seconds, so one minute is very hard, but after that is just a little bit of discomfort.
