Hi,

I had an EGD done yesterday morning and he did 8 biopsies. (I have had
one done before without biopsies and I had no problems afterwards.) I
heard my GI tell the nurse that my esophagus looked inflamed but then
forgot to ask him about it afterwards. I have had tons of pain since
the procedure especially when I'm swallowing and after I've eaten. I
do not have a fever though and it is better today than yesterday. I'm
wondering if this is a normal thing and how long I can expect to have
pain and difficulty swallowing. My throat is okay, it's the lower part
of my esophagus that hurts. I found the biopsies painful when they
were done (I was awake) which my doc said was normal.

Thanks for any info/advice, I couldn't find anything online.

Such pain after biopsies for Barrett's/dysplasia isn't common, but does
happen. As long as you're getting better not worse, I wouldn't be alarmed.

Thank you! I am not getting worse so I'll just keep with the
Tylenol :)
