Esophageal Strictures
Hi everyone. I have severe GERD and have had multiple esophageal dilations over the past 2 years. My most recent EGD dilation was in March, but since then I’ve had constant throat/esophageal burning and worsening dysphagia with significant pain when swallowing.
I’m currently on a PPI twice daily, Pepcid at night, and a muscle relaxer as needed. Despite this, my esophagus keeps narrowing back down to ~9 mm after dilation and symptoms keep returning.
I’m feeling pretty stuck and would really appreciate any insight or experiences from others dealing with something similar.
