ENDOSCOPY

[Ria35]

Hi
I had my first ever endoscopy 5 days ago. Which may I add I foun very traumatizing . I chose not to have sedation... Never again!! Anyway afterwards the doc told me she took 3 biopsies and also showed me a pic of what she describe as a fatty thing in my esophagus ehich she removed. Afterwards my throat was bit sore and sore to eat but nothing too bad however now it feels line there's something stuck in it when I swallow and it feels like it's goin through to my back. It like a pocket I air that is trapped is all I can describe it as. I went to my doc and he said it will be a bit sore for few days. But I'm concerned about this feeling. It also feels like when I'm eating that something is stuck in my throat. I read a post from someone in the internet describing these exact same symptoms. I am regretting getting it done now as I never ha any throat problems or anything like this before. Can anyone give me any info?

Hi thank you so much for your help. I am feeling a little better now so you are probably right. Thanks again

My guess would be that it may be where they cut that fatty piece off and now it may be scabbing. The throat is very sensitive so the smallest amount of swelling will cause you to feel that "lump". when you are eating food is probably brushing up against the spot and that is what you are feeling. I would give it a week and see if it goes away once the spot they cut fully heals.
