I am in Thailand. I have had chronic dyspepsia for months. I could not afford international hospital fees, so I had the upper endoscopy performed at the leading local hospital. The doctor was young and inexperienced, and the procedure did not go smoothly. My sore throat has persisted for more than a week. Two days ago, I was rubbing the larynx area where it was sore (my mistake) and that made it worse. Now I feel clicking sometimes when I swallow. Also, occasionally I feel pricks of cramping in the abodomen, perhaps from where the biopsies were taken.

I assume that even if the endoscopy was poorly done, my body will heal eventually. The issues do seem to be becoming more mild over time. Even if there were serious damage, I don't have the financial resources to do much about it.

I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer some perspective. My follow-up is in two weeks. I will receive test results concerning the dyspepsia then. I am just posting now about the problems that have resulted from the endoscopy.
