Hello Group,

I am 44 yrs old new to this group and trying to find my answer as I have been going through a lot. I was diagnosed Barrett esophagus with metaplatia 4 yrs ago. After that I had cryo ablation surgery 2 times and dr . Biopsy confirmed that it has completely eradicated. But I am in constant pain last 2 yrs. And too much pain in last 1 month by the sprincter associated nausea and a bit swallowing issues. Feels like LES pushing upward causing too unpleasant, restless.

@mzack, I'm sorry to hear that you have ongoing issues after successful treatment of Barrett's esophagus with cryotherapy that got rid of the abnormal cells.

Cryotherapy usually has minimal side effects. A rare complication is the narrowing of the esophagus and can make swallowing difficult. Have you been told that your esophagus is narrowing?
