My experience before and during the colonoscopy was excellent and I would give it a 5 star but not so with the after effects. I woke up immediately with extremely sore throat and a squeaky voice. 3 weeks later the sore throat is gone but still have squeaky voice and gets worse the more I talk. I made 2 attempts at getting an explanation for this from the doctors office but given a short answer that they did nothing to my throat and never heard such a thing. I just know I was fine and then I wasn’t. It was noticed immediately by my daughter when picking me up 3 hours later after leaving me there. I did see on the internet that some people have experienced this and was thought to be acid going up throat and irritating vocal cords that can take weeks to heal. It sure would have been nice to have had such information from a doctor rather than having to do the no-no of googling.
