Throat surgery. Removing my tonsils and also slicing/reshaping the bit of skin in front of my throat. Didn't feel a thing while I was in hospital, I even went home a day earlier, but then it hit. The pain was unbelievable, like someone was still poking a knife against an open wound. Swallowing liquid was difficult; swallowing food was impossible. The pain killers only worked for about 4 hours but I could only have them every 6. By the time I could have another one I was in extreme pain again, so swallowing a tablet was excruciatingly painful.
Apart from the night in hospital I didn't eat any solids for about 10 days after my op. I lost a lot of weight.
