Pain when i swallow anything

[jerilo10 26]

Hi! I'm 8 days post op today but every time I eat or drink anything it just hurts and I get gas. How long does this take to go away? Could it be a sign of something else? Thanks guys!

That sounds like what I felt about that time. My dr started me on nexium. It helped to alleviate all of my symptoms. I thought my esophagus was having spasms. I took the nexium for two weeks and never had any more problems.

if i swallow too big of a drink i would get pain in like my breast bone. the gas thing i just had to walk and walk plus my doctor recommend a laxative. hope that helps

But was it this far out? Shouldn't it have gone Away already?

I had that for a few weeks and it is now gone. It was like learning to swallow all over again-I was very sore. Any concerns should be discussed with a doc just to make sure-but it sounds like nothing too serious...again, check with the doc if you are worried

Good luck!

Yes that's exactly what's happening. The warm drinks don't feel bad. Does that go away?
