Throat Pain!!! Posted: 06-25-05 06:27am
Hi
anyone had pain in your throat relating to
difficulty in swallowing with food getting
stuck??
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who
had an operation to split the muscles at
the top of the gullet but in the throat to
help swallowing.

I had achalasia (food getting stuck when
trying to swallow) and had a laporascopic
heller myotomy. I'm not sure if that is
the same surgery or not... But I can
tell you about my experience.

:cry: had heller myotomy, that didn't work
so I had oesophagectomy last october which
left 2 inches of oesophagus (gullet) left.
It is this portion of gullet that is now
giving me pain. Saw specialist on monday
and he wishes me to have a rest. Will not
do further surgery unless referred again.

I have the wierdest pain right now in my
throat. Its not like a sore throat where
its super rough and hurts to cough, but it
feels like there is lil muscles in there
lol and they hurt super bad. This is the
worsst my throat have ever hurt or close
to anyway. It hurts sooooo bad to
swallow, and it feels really tight. It
could be my tonsils im not sure, but damn
does it hurt!!! So annoying!! If I take
an advil the pain goes away for like 4 hrs
but then comes back but I have to stop
taking advil because I have already taken
too much. This throat better go away.
Its been over a week now!!!
