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

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
