sorry you are not feeling too good. l too had the gastroscopy yesterday 17/11/20. Wanted sedation but my veins are hard to find so after several attempts with no success decided to have it with the throat spray. l must say it was very unpleasant , had a sore throat last night, gargled with salt water which seemed to ease it and its better today but l when l woke up in the morning my back was very painful, still is. Feels like l have been punched hard . Have taken pain relief and warm baths to try ease it. Let me know how you get on and hope you feel better soon. I will also let you know how l get on. All the best Sky x
hi. hope you well. Just wondered how you got on as having something similar to what you had post endoscopy. Thank you
i have been having the same problem of back pain specially the shoulder blade pain its like rubber band is stopping me to move my back and shoulder and it is consistent and now it gives me the scalp neuralgia. i believe the reason i got this after endoscopy and biopsy is simple because after the procedure was done the very next day i have been sleeping with my stomach down to the ground or i don't know.
did you recover from it?
Hmm. I can't speak to knowing anything about thrashing under sedation. Everything I've seen has said otherwise. Also, my experiences. I'm a terrible gagger but even under twilight sedation I have no gag reflex. That being said, I've read several studies that mild to severe myalgia is a side effect of propofol (the sedative commonly used). I went back to my report and saw that propofol used during my procedure. A heating pad has helped. I am going to add nutmeg spray and take a couple of ibuprofen.
hi i had EDG yesterday and today i woke with terrible stomach pain and back pain with some odd chest pain too , i called my doctor and they said it will ease but i can hardly walk everything i eat and drink makes it worse i googled i know google always says the worst thing but im so worried ive never had pain like this i suffer with bad anxiety as it is ive been a right mess today has anyone had this stomach pain
hiya, i had a egd two days ago, im still in bed with very bad cramps in the top of my back. because i had thoart spray i was able to leave straight away by the time i got home my back was so painful i could not speak eat or walk or drink. my husband took me to a&e because i was screaming in pain it felt like the top of my back was having contractions. at a n e they put me straight on a drip with painkillers and muscle relaxstions. i had bloods taken, xrays all came back fine they think that the camera going down has caused my tube to have spasms and also painful because i had 7 biospys taken. i still have not eaten and only can slip a drink and that starts the pain off again. is this whats happening to you and how long before you felt better as i cant do anythink appart from lay in bed.
hi linda49391 I am having the same problem I just had the endoscopy yesterday are you still having the same problems?
I'm so glad I found this site. I had an endoscopy two days ago.They did not properly prepare me for this experience.
It was painful. i specifically felt hard pain on the left back side of my throat and i struggled and almost knocked the doctor's hand away. I had made long and loud belching sounds and gagged the entire time. What the heck? ! Why dont they put us all the way under?
Yesterday the pain in my throat (where the hard thing was) was horrific . I could hardly drink water.
Today the back pain has set in. The pain actually started in the middle of my chest when i swallowed food, but now its a deep pain in the back.
Glad is kind of normal, but i have to be able to work through this. No time . ugh
They took biopsies from my stomach and esophagus and also found a small hiatal hernia. Fun times going on here!
Does it usually take a long time for biopsies to process?
Hi, you might find this surprising but I believe it can be anxiety related / induced or muscle spasm related as well. I have this same feeling often, even very acidic taste in my mouth but usually only when I think I have it and I focus on it for a little while. Try to break out of it and see if its correlated in any way to your mood, notice if you feel it more when you might think you're having it, or when your mood is down (especially if you are generally worried about it and you know the symptoms that people feel normally). You probably don't have this when your mood is up or when you do something that gives you positive emotions. I often try to fight it with my brain by forcing myself to believe that I don't have anything and that I am making it up and in a couple of seconds the symptoms go away fully, or I try to redirect the pain and imagine I am feeling it somewhere else in the body. So notice if that makes it go way, if it its that then its anxiety related, I know it feels very real but there's actual studies that show how you throat becomes more sensitive (mentally) and then gives you these sensations or triggers some of the nerves/ muscles that make you feel this way. But please do the necessary medical investigations either way, even for your piece of mind! Please try it, its been quite a revelation for me! All the best!
hi! am Gloria , i am suffering from chest front and back front , side pain , its so so painful sometimes i think its heart pain its unbearable pain , i had this before and i went for Gastroscopy and colonoscopy treatment and i was given seduced on this precesses it was 6 weeks ago that procedure done ,its worse now , i also went for CT and MRI scan everything was fine .please help . thank you!

well I've had all the above along with acid puke coming up why dt they disclose this in your side effects when everyone calls bk with these symptoms??
Hi Simss,
I just had my EGD, done last week. On Wednesday as a matter of fact. I didn't have back immediately following the procedure. I had it the next day. I seriously thought it was me. It first started with upper back pain, then moved to lower back pain. unfortunately, I can't even go to the bathroom I have to hold on to the walls to sit or get up.
I didn't know this was caused from the EGD, until I started to google it. I'm so worried.
i had an endoscopy two days ago and ever since have been experiencing intense back pain that radiates through to my stomach. The pain comes in waves once every couple of minutes, and emerges un the middle of my back right through to the middle of my stomach. when it comes it really sets me back and is really impacting my ability to do things. The doctors don't have an explanation and i wasn't warned of anything like this being a side effect, ahead of my endoscopy. i wasn't sedated for the procedure, instead i had the numbing throat spray. has anyone else experienced a similar sensation/ side effect after having an endoscopy? as i am starting to worry how long it will last??
Hi Lilly. I just had an endoscopy today and have back pain. Do you know why?
That's very useful information. thanks! I am having backpain after endoscopy 2 days ago. do you know how many days usually takes to recover? thanks
I had an EGD last Friday. I had been admitted to the hospital with severe chest pain. I did not know the doctor they called in to do the procedure. When I met him, he was dismissive when I told him I had a Nissen fundoplication 6 months ago and said he was only there to see me about this specific procedure. I disliked him immediately but said nothing because I wanted to get to the root of the problem. Cardiac issues had been ruled out. Shortly after being taken back to my hospital room following the procedure, I called the nurse as I had severe pain in the middle of my back. They gave me pain meds. Now I have some of the worst neck pain of my life. I am using biofreeze and heat and ice occasionally. My glands are swollen as if I have mumps. I believe I was handled very roughly. The doctor, anesthesiologist and nurses were all men. They were very nice but I think they sometimes don't know their own strength. I don't remember anything after they put the bite apparatus in my mouth. I was on my left side. I read many GI reports for my job and I have never read anything indicating complications. They always say patient handled the procedure well. Under HIPAA, patients have the right to put notes in their medical records. I will likely do that. Patients should be given truthful information. This pain is debilitating.
Spend more time exercising and stretching. Try massaging your ligaments and try ice packs for the pain. Painkillers are found to be addictive by many.
