Swallowing Pain and Barium Swallow Results

[jolleyhearted]

Hello,

I just got the report back from my barium swallow yesterday.  everything came back normal.  My dr. is at a loss to explain why I am having swallowing pain.  I see a specialist tomorrow, but I would like to know if there are conditions that would cause swallowing pain that would not show up on a barium swallow.

PS.  Pain started as a contact pulled muscle kind of pain after carrying a bag on the train to the airport.  Could that be related?

Cheers,
Dave

I feel it to the left of the sternum (about an inch to the left).  The pain is centered under around the 8th rib (I think... inline with the nipple).

Dave, where specifically is the pain coming from?
