So happy to hear your symptoms improved and you're on the mend. Do you mind sharing your doctor and where you had your surgery? I see an ENT tomorrow and am convinced I'm in the same boat 🙁 Swallowing has been an issue off and on for a year or so. I assumed I was eating to fast, however two weeks ago I began with a sharp pain on my left side (below my jaw and ear). After researching extensively, I can check yes to all symptoms 🙁 Hoping to her from you 🙂
