Upper Endoscopy

Posted , 4 users are following.

I had an upper endoscopy over 2 weeks ago and since then, I've had pain that comes and goes all day in between my chest and upper abdomen . Its more of an annoying gnawing sensation, not pain

They sent me for an abdominal ultrasound, and nothing . I'm so worried

      in my experience when I get gnawing pain it is usually a bit of inflammation. My endoscopy made my upper oesophagus and throat really uncomfortable for about a week. Are you taking any ppi medication? I had to take double dose for 2 weeks after mine as eating and drinking were quite unpleasant at first.

    It might be intercostal neuralgia. I recommend checking your back.
