Mine is driving me crazy. .....It is stretched and swollen....and feels like something is stuck when I swallow. I called the nurse and she said that it could happen and is from the tubing during surgery....Has anyone ever experienced this and if so what did you do to make it go away and how long did it last.

When I had a surgery about 5yr ago that happened to me. My throat hurt more than the surgery site. For me it took about a month to heal. Man, I'm sorry that happened to you.

Uvula. You could probably help it to heal faster if you gargle with salt water.

I feel alot better today.....dang thing was driving me crazy yesterday....thanks for responding

Glad to hear you are felling better.

Sounds like your uvula has been irritated with the intubation. Just like having an irritated sore throat, it'll take a few days. If it really hurts a lot you can get some of the green throat spray which is a topical anesthetic and give it a spritz.

Yes the tubing irritated it and I was not expecting that at all.....but feeling much better today and swelling is going down. Thank you all for your advice and concern.....hope everyone is having a good day
