Ever since surgery I feel my tonsils. What the heck?!

[robocop12 1]

Its not an unpleasant feeling, its just.....I cant go to sleep because whenever I sleep I feel my tonsils. I have no clue why! I feel they are hanging all the way down my throat and its just super awkward.

Perhaps it is Thrush? I dont know. All I know is that I have had this since the surgery, and NEVER before. I had an endoscopy done beforehand, and they said/mentioned nothing about my tonsils.

I really would like to know if any of you are/have experiencing this before?!

Im thinking another possibility could be uvulitis?

I had a weird feeling in my throat for a while too. I am 5 weeks PO and that is gone now.

You would have had a bougie inserted down your throat during the operation. It probably irritated them.

Yep, irritation from the tubes down your throat in surgery. I felt like mine had been beaten for about a week.

But I am what feels like maybe 2+ weeks post op :/

Mine felt like that too from weeks 3-5 and I think it was just acid. TMI- but if I made myself burp over and over, it would go away for a few minutes. It was very uncomfortable and my dr was even thinking I might have had a stricture, then one day I woke up and it was gone! My dr (and some people on this board) suggested prilosec and that might have helped too.

So I should talk to my doctor about this when I go for my 2 week follow up? Thatll be on the 7th

I would call just to be sure. They might want to change something or move your appt.

I had the same feeling a few weeks after surgery. It was thrush. Of course I had a sore throat and white spots in my throat too.
