Have you tried sipping warm water to dissolve it?

You may have actually already swallowed it and what you feel is the residual pain of the scratched oesophagus.

I've had pills stuck too. I make an exception and eat a couple of carb loaded crackers like triscuts. It usually does the trick. Good luck.

Ive eaten bread, drank cold tea, hot tea and tried a piece of meat. It hasnt gotten better. If I would have swallowed it completely it would have come up when I puked. Ive had pills get stuck before but never like this. Im still trying to drink but im just torchuring myself. I just dont want to go to the er for something this stupid. Im going to try a heating pad and see if making it warmer will expand my throat enough.

You may be having esophagus spasms...try relaxing and sipping hot coffee or tea. If bread did not dislodge it, then if very well be a spasm or stricture.

Thanks for the advice all :) my friend had me try something wierd that actually worked. I laid on the bed with my legs on the bed and my body laying off of it bending backwards of the bed so that I stretched my esophagus out. I stayed line that for a few minutes and it must have moved cuz this morning I could eat and drink fine. It was the stupidest thing I think "injury" wise that's ever happened to me lol

I'll have to try that technique next time. Glade it worked for you and that your feeling better.
