Brief Answer: Consideration Detailed Answer: thanks for sending your question, It is certainly possible that this could be a pinched nerve. Other considerations include acid reflux which might be causing irritation of the nerves which affect the esophagus. It might be reasonable for you to try a course of antacid medication such as Prilosec for a few weeks to see if this helps. one additional consideration would be adhesions. These can be formed after surgery and can cause a vague symptoms including pain or discomfort. I would sit down again with your doctor to review these considerations and see what he thinks. If you're not satisfied with the answers you are receiving you might consider requesting a second opinion. Thanks again for sharing your healthcare concerns with us. Dr. Galamaga
