Suggest Ways To Manage Pain During Colonoscopy

Hi,
I had a endoscopy and colonoscopy today. The endoscopy went fine and they took a couple of biopsies.
The colonoscopy didn't go so well. It was very painful and they had to stop at the hepatic flexure.
To identify whether I have inflammatory bowel disease would they have needed to go further than this?
