Can anyone help?
Had routine knee repair surgery and the anesthesiologist came out and told me I would have a sore throat for awhile because she couldn't find a tube small enough to put in my trach, so she had to force the one she had down it. The next day, I got pneumonia, but worse than that, I got the most severe pain in my esophagus I have ever had in my entire life!
I have been put in the hospital in critical condition from this, and the vomiting is so severe that blood comes spurting out of both nostrils. They have done two scopes, and they both have come back normal. They have done a stomach empying test, which came back normal. They did a motility test, which came back normal. I'm waiting now for the PH test, in which I wore a probe in my esophagus and a little transistor I hooked to my belt.
They have checked for hiatal hernia and I don't have one. The pain gets so severe that I am taking drinking lidocaine and am on a mashed potato and jello diet. I have to take Zofran three times a day for the nausea.
I have never felt anything like this, and I don't understand how I can have such severe symptoms but my esophagus looks perfectly normal? Could this be an injury from the trach tube? And if so, why didn't something show up?
I have had to postpone my graduation from college and my externship (Med. Asst.), and basically, I'm housebound due to the fact that I never know when I'm going to become violently ill and the pain is going to start!
They checked for H. Pyolori and of course, my pancreas, and all that. Everything is coming back NORMAL!!! Well, except for the PH, we're waiting on that. Gallbladder is already gone.
Can anyone help me? Any ideas? Anyone go through anything like this? I can't take it anymore and I have a VERY high tolerance for pain. It's been THREE MONTHS!!! Thanks.

Hi,
Endoscopy will be normal in as much as 70% of those with acid reflux.
24 pH monitoring should be done for confirmation of acid reflux.

PH monitor just came back, it's normal. Any other suggestions?
