Feeling at my wits end with Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

Greetings everyone. I have been scarce here at connect as of late. I recently had sedation for a bladder biopsy a couple of days ago. I have had this raging sore throat and the feeling of phlegm stuck in my throat. I finally took a flashlight and took a look. OMG they murdered part of my uvula!!! Necrosis of my uvula. I have also been experiencing so much more pain which is worse today. Now a severe sore throat and knowing part of my uvula (little hangy down thing in the throat) will rot off-I could choke to death and no one would know why. I requested to have the biopsy done under a local and it was not allowed. I know how the body is treated once the patient is out. A biospy of my bladder has cost me part of my uvula. Will this cause other problems? Opposite end of the poles...laughable if it were not so painful.

@parus O my gosh I'm so sorry have you see a ENT for this? I don't know if he can help but maybe. I often get phlegm in my throat think I'm going to choke I,ll have to look at my uvula

@parus Well, dang it!!! Like you don't have enough going on, right? I wonder if it is temporary trauma due to insertion of trach tube, and will clear up? Does gargling with an antiseptic mouthwash ease any of the discomfort, and allow for healing? Over 20 years ago I had one wisdom tooth extracted [why do all four when only one was an issue??] They wanted me to do a general anesthesia, and sign off that they would not be responsible if they broke my jaw during extraction. Uh, no! I told them a local only, and indeed I would hold them responsible if they committed that act!

@parus, bless your heart! I would be so frustrated right now. There just are no words. Where do you go from here?

Lots of virtual hugs and prayers that you get better very soon!
