Pain after upper endoscopy / EGD

[nygrl]

Hi, I just underwent an upper endoscopy and biopsy yesterday for some stomach pain I've had for several years. I haven't gotten test results back but so far have been diagnosed with chronic gastritis and reflux esophagitis. My question is about how I am feeling right now. From all I've read there should be no pain or discomfort after the procedure but I feel like someone punched me in the stomach and I'm nauseated. I wasn't having a flare-up at the time of the procedure but I'm wondering if somehow having the scope in there irriated my stomach lining. The pain isn't severe which I guess would indicate a complication like a perforation and I have no fever or anything but I can't come up with any stories from anyone about not feeling well after this procedure. I called the Dr's office and the nurse just said it was because they had to put air into my stomach for the procedure and because I didn't eat yesterday until about 1pm . I just don't know. I don't feel gassy... Anyone else have this experience?

I just had an upper endoscopy done today, although I felt ok after having it done, I now feel tired and nauseous. My mom had one done, she said her symptoms lasted about 2 weeks. I find chewing on crushed ice helps and so does using a heating pad on my stomach and back. For the throat pain I've been eating popsicles. Hope this helps a little

I had an endoscopy yesterday and they did "conscious sedation" I was supposed to be under anesthesia but yesterday morning I ate a few very small pieces of candy not thinking about what I was doing. They wouldn't do anesthesia because of that. So I was awake but somewhat drugged up.

During my EDG they removed a polyp and dilated the esophagus. I am in extreme pain and had to go back to the hospital for X-rays, just to be on the safe side.  the Dr said there was a pretty big divot where they removed the polyp and that pain is not unusual. He gave me Lydacane to numb the esophagus. So far my lips and the roof of my mouth are numb and that's about it. He did not know if the pain was from dilation of the esophagus or removing the polyp. He did say unfortunately the pain could last a few days. So far I've only had liquids and swallowing is horrifically painful.
I will check back in a couple of days and give an update.

Did the pain get resolved?  I had a very similar situation.

I'm sorry I never checked back in like I promised.
Yes the pain did go away... Completely.  
I was very uncomfortable for about a week, I improved every day and now I'm doing really great.
Thanks for asking.
