hiya~ have you been checked for a stricture? i haven't had one but your symptoms sound the same as people in our support group that have had strictures. they needed to be dilated which can be done in the office i believe. contact your surgeon asap -- this is not normal... good luck kate

Hi! It does sound like it could be a stricture...If it is it's an easy fix but it can't be done in the office....It's done by endoscopy and your sedated so you don't feel or remember a thing.Could be an ulcer or reflux too...I would definately have an endoscopy done though to find the cause.

I also had a stricture at about 14 weeks and it could be described the same way.
