Pain after upper endoscopy / EGD

[nygrl]

Hi, I just underwent an upper endoscopy and biopsy yesterday for some stomach pain I've had for several years. I haven't gotten test results back but so far have been diagnosed with chronic gastritis and reflux esophagitis. My question is about how I am feeling right now. From all I've read there should be no pain or discomfort after the procedure but I feel like someone punched me in the stomach and I'm nauseated. I wasn't having a flare-up at the time of the procedure but I'm wondering if somehow having the scope in there irriated my stomach lining. The pain isn't severe which I guess would indicate a complication like a perforation and I have no fever or anything but I can't come up with any stories from anyone about not feeling well after this procedure. I called the Dr's office and the nurse just said it was because they had to put air into my stomach for the procedure and because I didn't eat yesterday until about 1pm . I just don't know. I don't feel gassy... Anyone else have this experience?

Hi just following up on how you are doing.  any relief from the symptoms you were having as I am not.  Still have stiffness under my sternum and upper ribs and stomach cramping.  Have lost 25 pounds since ED done on 060515.  Please let me know if you are feeling better and what you did that helped you as I feel helpless.  Have lost lots of work and on top of that dealing with my husband's prostate cancer.  Will appreciate your feedback.

I had the exact same experience (3 weeks ago) and yesterday I was in unbearable pain. I went to the E.R. and they said that they accidentally punctured my intestine. If you haven't already you should really get that looked at.

I've had endoscopy/ colonscopy two days ago and am still suffering with the ability to swallow. Everything else seems fine. Can anyone tell me how long will it be before I can eat without pain.
