Had ACDF surgery (C3-C4) about three weeks ago, but still have dysphagia. I can eat certain foods, but always feel like there's a lump in my throat and don't feel like I can eat 2/3 of the foods I usually do. Liquids I have to drink slowly to avoid coughing. The foods I am eating (mac & cheese, cream of wheat, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, etc.) feel more natural going down than thin liquids (i.e., water). I take all pills with applesauce The surgeon said before the surgery that I might have a day or two of difficulty swallowing, but here we are at three weeks. Virtually no pain after surgery. I didn't have any going in, but had the surgery to avoid being paralyzed years down the road.
Anyone else with similar experiences? |
