It is more of a sore throat pain… Kind of like the worst case of strep or tonsillitis you’ve ever had. It hurts but not as much as many “adult tonsillectomy” horror stories I’d read online.

Is the swallowing pain similar to a bad sore throat? Or is it sharp, cut-like.
Sounds like the surgery was the answer. So glad you were able to get in and get it done. Take care.
Nope, he only removed the side that was causing me problems. The recovery is painful (swallowing hurts) but not as bad as I had planned for. I imagine it will be awhile before I can really tell how much of the ES symptoms are gone.
