Rhinoscopy

Recently my doctor wanted to look closely into my both nostrils. I just thought that he wanted to use the nasal speculum as on previous visits but I saw him grab a long black tube. He started with the left nostril and it was a totally weird experience. Tears came out of my eyes. He had difficulty passing and then went on to the right one and shoved the tube up my nose. When he was finished with the right one he went back to the left one and started again, trying to move further upwards which was pretty painful. He did not use any lubricant nor anesthetic.

Anyone has similar experiences?

Yup, been there. It's not a fun exam.
