@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?

Have you had cryo ablation before or anyone you might know. ?
By the way my doctor keep telling me I don’t have narrowing or any kind of strictures . But my nerve pain or whatever pain it is so uncomfortable!!

I wasn’t told anything like these. Once in the morning After few months of last ablation I felt like my esophagus was twisting a bit for a few second and I wasn’t feeling well since then. Now is always discomfort in the lower part of distal esophagus. I am not sure what would be next step as I am so depressed and in pain now .
I am reading a lot of comments here that about the prognosis is so bad of this kind of disease.
I do have follow up with my doctor tomorrow and ultrasound scheduled for whole abdomen.
Please pray for me.
