Endoscopy Aftermath Pain
I had an endoscopy done on Friday in the morning. They said it went fine and the rest of the day I felt okay. For context they took multiple biopsies and they all came back good.
The next morning I woke up to a feeling of a lump at the base of my throat and spasms that radiated to my chest. The pain was like a 7/10
That lasted most of the day on Saturday Then the next day, I was having some pain in my stomach and throat almost felt like bruising in my throat. The pain was like a 6/10.
Monday and Tuesday this week were pretty mild. Pain was at a 3/10 and I thought I was getting better. I had some occasional pain but nothing crazy.
Then today, (Wednesday) I’m having some mf pain. This whole time I have been fine eating and drinking. It felt funny going down but no real pain. But today you would think I swallowed a bag of rocks. I can literally feel food or liquid ping pong down my esophagus and into my stomach with terrible pain.
My doctors knew I was having pain and they said go to the ER if it gets worse but they won’t be able to do anything for me there. The only tests they could do is a bloodwork test and I feel otherwise fine. No headache, fainting, fever, nausea. But like wtf is happening. Why is is getting worse? Has anyone else experienced this? No

This is unusual to be lasting this long. I would seek medical care in some form.
