Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Diagnostic studies you may benefit from:
- Modified barium swallow study which assesses swallow.
- Videostroboscopy which assesses the vocal cords.
- Esophageal manometry which assesses the esophagus' ability to push food down into your stomach.
Your symptoms are definitely something your physician needs to be aware of. They may want to refer you to a neurologist or other specialist.
Praying you find relief soon.

Thank you for your response. I was evaluated by an ENT PA the other day. Scoped the nasal passages down to vocal cords. Possible mild acid reflux. Recommends Flonase each evening. Anti-reflux med morning and evening. Right now the swallowing/sinus problems are low on my list. The severe, chronic pain levels(8-9 daily) are my main concern. Three and a half years searching for answers. No real solutions. Even with meds, it's still pretty bad. I have been trying to get a trial of a spinal cord stimulator for three months. The wheels of medicine turn very slowly here in Delaware. Appreciate your prayers.
