1:13 my tounge is folded and curved and can't move it to the left..also hard to control lips.. also because of my jaw diversion makes food get stuck .i keep coughing and clearing my throat and drooling I'm exhausted so much..i have general Dystonia
I also had issues with bread like stuff it gets stuck and it’s so painful and I can’t drink to move it because every time i chock I almost choked on a donut and coffee one morning
Hello, I have oropharyngeal dysphasia(base of the tongue weakness), my food gets stuck in the pyriform sinuses and at the vallecula. I was seeing a SLP but they said I was fine to do exercises on my own after my course. I tried talking to my ENT to see if I can get another referral to see my SLP again and it was a total brush off. They changed my meds and have me taking these big horse pills that are impossible and they seem to not care. The pills feel like they get stuck and it’s awful. How can I see a SLP without my Dr.s referral? I need help.
Hello, I had a barium swallow to access occasional sternum discomfort and it revealed diminished esophageal motility, though I did not have any type of pain or symptoms. I had the upper gi endoscopy done on Friday to look for any clues/damage. It was unremarkable and according the report went without any problems. I woke up with a terrible sore throat and difficulty swallowing (at the pharyngeal level) as well as it painful to laugh or cough. It is now Monday. I was hoping it was related to trauma of some sort and will heal up, which I am still hoping for. Just wondering if you have any suggestions.
