Irritated pouch?? 14 months post op

3 days ago I started noticing pain in my back (shoulder blade area)when I swallow. Anything, water, saliva, food etc. I called to see my surgeon and he has been deployed!!(I am sad!!) I will see the other surgeon who helped with my surgery and thats good since he hasnt deployed yet, and I do like him. However the first available appt isnt till mid April. I did speak with the nurse and explained to her what is going on, 1 year previous to surgery I had the same thing happen and it was an irritated esophigial muscle I was put on pepcid for a month and it was better after that( it was irritated due to acid reflux) Now however I dont have acid reflux!! She said I may have irritated my pouch and need to go back to clear liquids for 24 hours and slowly work up to stage 4 eating..has anyone else had this happen???
