What To Do For The Bone Stuck In The Throat?

On new years day 2011 i had what i think was a small chicken bone caught down my throat just by my left tonsil. I had xray the following day which showed nothing but i could feel it when putting my finger down my throat. for a week it sat there cutting the side of my tongue. i was eventually sent to ent and scoped but the doc said she could not see it because of where it was lodged however in the waiting room it moved and i swallowed it. but ever since i have a sharp feeling slightly further down in the throat every time i swallow and i can also feel my uvula hanging down my throat. i have had ct scan and ultrasound but showed nothing. i am really concerned now because its been 3 months and still really uncomfortable.could whatever it was be stuck there still causing me to feel this and why am i still feeling my uvula to the left of my throat everytime i swallow. i am now really desperate for answers but get the same response which is globus hystericus. it is not this as i have had this before and it is completely different. this all started the day after we assumed i had swallowed the alledged bone. your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

It is possible that mild mucosal injury while eating the bone. This mucosal injury may can cause irritation while swallowing. Any way 3 months already over still your feeling pain means please get it done upper GI endoscopy, barium swallow. Please review with reports and consult with your gastroenterologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
