So is that normal? I've heard of people having a sore throat, inside, after surgery but mine hurts to the touch on the outside. Didn't start until tonight, day after surgery.

It's already starting to go away so I guess it doesn't matter. LOL Had a good sleep last night, sitting up, in my own bed. Feel better today. Stomach isn't hurting too bad when I stay on top of the Tylenol.

I had a very sore throat from a previous surgery. The issue was difficulty in intubating me. It could also be from the angle your head may have been placed at. Glad it's better.
