yogachick 56 Posted February 20, 2015 Is this normal? Every single swallow cramps me up something awful. I can feel it travel all the way down then BAM instant pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubbsey1 126 Posted February 20, 2015 Yep normal, I'm 3 days out as well. Your Surgeon should have given you meds for this called hyoscyamine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yogachick 56 Posted February 20, 2015 I just messaged him. Wish the pharmacy did home deliveries lol. Will have to wait for hubby to get it for me after work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,719 Posted February 20, 2015 I had similar issues, but with my esophagus. It would constrict painfully with every tiny sip. That lasted for the first two weeks or so, but it did subside once I was healed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Debbieduck4 399 Posted February 20, 2015 I could not tolerate plain Water at all for the entire first month after surgery for some weird reason.... It actually hurt to drink. I'm wondering what kinds of liquids you are drinking? For me it was helpful to experiment with different things... I found out that I managed warm or hot liquids better at first, so drank a lot of broth and teas. Maybe try that in addition to the meds? I hope you feel better soon.

LSF 264 Posted February 20, 2015 My first couple of days I farted after every sip haha. All I did was sip & fart, sip & fart but it did help the pain go away ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yogachick 56 Posted February 20, 2015 Im drinking this now and it's not nearly as painful. Water and chicken broth both do it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yogachick 56 Posted February 21, 2015 Doc wouldn't prescribe that stuff so I'll just have to tough it out until it stops cramping with every sip. Ugh! Today is day 4 and so far the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
