    Did they say whether the burning mouth was due to damage from the endoscopy? Have they seen it in other patients post endoscopies?

    From what I've read on here I must have had very skillful people when I had mine several years ago. Like you I was not sedated ( my choice ). Were you aware of any difficulty getting the endoscope down. I wasn't. It just felt like swallowing a piece of dry bread. I know the throat spray numbs the throat but I always feel that if I'm awake during any procedure it gives me the chance to say " stop" but I didn't need to.

    Hope you find a way to sooth the discomfort. Doesn't sound as though your medics are very clued up or sympathetic.
