Is a sigmoidoscopy supposed to be better or worse than a colonoscopy?

I’m not sure what the difference is, but my sigmoidoscopy was excruciating. They did it to diagnose abdominal pain that turned out to be irritable bowel syndrome. Unfortunately, sigmoidoscopy itself aggravated the symptoms. When I had my first child a few years later, it did not seem one-tenth as bad to me as the sigmoidoscopy.
