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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
