In Reply to: wouldn't it have dissolved by now...nm - casey

Every time I swallow, I feel it. It feels smaller, but it's still there and very painful. If I cough, I can move it up some. I've tried drinking mass quantities...hot tea, hot green tea, coffee, cold water, lukewarm water. Maybe it will eventually dissolve, but now I'm worried because I read about "pill-induced esophagitis." I guess NSAIDs are particularly bad about getting stuck and causing this. I should just go in, but I'm just not sure what they can do short of sedating me and sticking a scope in there. I'm so chicken.
