Unfortunately the appointment was a waste of time. Doctor did not agree or think scoping was necessary. Basically he said this lingering pain happens to some patients. All I can do is remain patient and continue with soft diet.
Ironically the last 3 days have been very good for me whereas my throat hasn’t been bad and I’ve been eating pretty well. I’ve had only occasional tube feedings, like only once a day. It really has been mentally uplifting and I feel great. However I did push the envelope a bit today, I tried a cheeseburger, now I’m in pain but not terrible. I think I will bounce back okay. There are lots of ups and downs in this healing process and no logic can be applied. Hopefully no more regression from here.
Wish you well
