lump in throat felling after endoscopy

Hi about 4 weeks ago i had an endoscopy done .
after the endoscopy i had the feeling of a lump in my throat and a felling of not being able to swallow my food has any body ever experience this please let me know

Yes, I've had the same experience. I had an endoscopy July 7, 2006 and my throat still feels sore (3 days later) and also feels a little swollen. I am also a little sore in my chest. I called the doctor's office 2 days ago and the nurse told me to call them tomorrow if I am not any better.

I just had endoscopy 3 days ago and I came home feelling like a had a giant lump in my throat. Had trouble swallowing. Felt like I had to cough something up or swallow somthing down and couldn't do either. That felt much better the next day. I've also developed a cough deep in my throat with some awful tasting phlegm. I had the sore throat for the first 2 days but that is much better too. what hasn't gotten better yet is the bad/bland taste in all foods since the procedure. This is my third endoscopy (every two yrs I get one now) and the first two were not like this afterwards. I assume that my throat/esophagus was more irritated...maybe they had to take more tissue samples this time. Guess I'll find out after doctor calls me next week.

Yes, I am experiencing the same symptoms. I had the endoscopy and also had esophageal dilation 3 weeks ago and the lump feeling is still there. My doctor became angry when I called him to complain. The feeling is terrible; it's difficult to describe to other people. I know just how you feel. I don't know where to go from here because I will not return to the physician who did the procedure.

I've had a lump in throat feeling for two weeks+little stones came out of my mouth.I am taking a triple therapy in antibiotics;a single therapy does not help.I had a terrible taste in my mouth .Which is now gone after two days of triple therapy(amoxicilline+clarythromycine +pantozol 40)
Hope this helps others.

Those stones are probably salivary stones. It feels like a lump in a gland. It is passed through your salivary duct through the underside of your tongue.

As a patient, you have every right to ask any question regarding a procedure, a second opinion, or positive ratiing regarding a procedure or surgery you may have been suggested to by a doctor. I once had a doctor who got so upset about requesting a second opinion we almost came to blows. Of course it was regarding surgeries perfromed during a workmans compesation case. I had never been talked to like that man talked to me by anyone, much less than a surgeon.

I found out soon after my confrontation with this hand doctor, that he had been lets say "forcebly retired". The doctor that did the second surgery had told me that the first surgery completely failed. After this surgeon reconstructed what the other surgeon performed.

Remember, you are in charge of your medical health, not the physician or surgeon. If you do not like what a doctor is telling you, then by all means, get another opinion..
