Pharyngeal Web

[Gilli]

Anyone had any experience of this? A was diagnosed with it several weeks ago. Her gp has referred her as an urgent referral to the gastroenterologist for a procedure to get rid of the 'web'. We can't find out very much about it from a patient's point of view, but it has been causing her a lot of grief.

Have you consulted Spiderman?

Seriously, medical stuff is best left the medics.

It isn't funny. It is a condition which causes a lot of difficulty with swallowing and I was not looking for a cure, just wanted to know if anyone else had experience of the condition. We are still waiting for an appointment from the hospital.
