That's too bad. I am such a baby about pain that never happens. Some of the more stoic people do pay the price. Sounds like you have somewhat more involvement than me (though symptoms sound identical).
BTW, while posting earlier, I was eating at a Mexican restaurant. No problemo. And none tonight as long as I take the PPI (omeprazole 40mg).
Also, my endoscopy didn't show that much. A moderate Schatzki ring is all.
Yeah, there’s a line between feeling like a hypochondriac and doing what the football coach says and walk it off. I tend to wait until I have a fever of 104, or I’m bleeding out an orifice before I talk to the doc about it. Hell, one time I was running a temp and holding my side before I called the doc, and found out my gall bladder was about to burst and had to come out. I’d never had anything invasive like that done before, and was more worried about being put under and having someone poking around in there, pulling things out, than I was about the pain. But the weapons-grade bottles of hydrocodone and dilaudid they gave me afterwards made me want to do it again. I couldn’t work due to the nature of my job at the time, so I was out on short-term disability. I was also high as a kite for six weeks. LOL!
Endoscopy =>> Also hiatal hernia, like one other commenter.
