Experiences with

Tonsillectomy

She's booked in for a tonsillectomy and turbinate reduction and she's absolutely terrified of the pain and the recovery time.

Tonsillectomy. Dethatched retina repair. Urethra surgery.

She does get recurrent tonsilitis and waiting on tonsillectomy but says this is different, further down neck. Had 72 hour ecg but still waiting on abdo u/s which I checked and is booked as routine so could be weeks yet.

And I'm so anxious and nervous about the tonsillectomy 😩I know I did this to myself by not eating for a long time. I'm still working on it 😭. I'm just so overwhelmed with life right now

I'm getting a tonsillectomy sometime next month.. and I'm very anxious about it. I heard the recovery is worse for adults and more painful. And the risk of bleeding afterwards is high.. which is scary to me. Has anyone on here had theirs removed? What should I expect and any advice

For a few days I’ve been suffering immensely after a tonsillectomy. I can’t keep anything down, not even water. I can barely move. The meds are making everything worse and despite throwing up every day since my surgery they discharged me and I’ve been unable to do anything at home.

My daughter has just had a quincy removed after being admitted to hospital and before she was discharged the consultant said she should strongly advise tonsillectomy, however we were concerned that being hypothyroidthat this may be a problem. Please advise Thankyou

I had a tonsillectomy in August 2018 and was eventually diagnosed with a nerve pain in my throat. I'm taking pregablin and nortriptylene for it and currently doing a pain management course.

My main concern is that if I’m going to have this tonsillectomy and it turns out it wasn’t even the tonsils causing all this that the surgery would have been all for nothing!!! I want to know for sure that it is tonsillitis before I have a surgery like that done!

At the end of the appointment she said that because of the pus not clearing up after months of having it (since the end of February) she said that she thinks it’s about time I have a tonsillectomy.

I’ve been told I have to get a tonsillectomy, I’ve been told I’m anaemic as well so if I have to get iron infusions I will. I’ve gone to the doctor multiple times about other problems. But my mum won’t go about anything.

Would just like to add I have an incredibly low immune system and was meant to be having tonsillectomy this month as well as a scan to see if I have endometriosis. Wondering if they may be contributing Would appreciate any tips

Hi everyone, My last post was three weeks ago just after I had my tonsillectomy. And unfortunately today I got the results. It turns out my abnormal tonsils were full of cll cells. Or as my surgeon said loaded with cancer cells. Has anyone else here had the same experience or results?

Iv Been feeling all kinds of physical symptoms for the past year from offbalance, dizziness, tension headaches, body aches, been through sinus surgery and tonsillectomy wich cost 15,000 us dollars. But that wasnt the problem.

I had a tonsillectomy in 1988 and that’s the first sore throat I have had since then. 3 courses of antibiotics later and I am still experiencing intermittent sharp ear ache pains that occur daily but this pain occurs when I am also experiencing reflux that I can feel in my throat.

For the last 2.5 years I’ve been to and from gps and consultants for many ongoing issues (reflux, reoccurring thrush, throat infections, tonsillectomy, nerve pains etc) and I’m wondering whether I’m now finally in the right hands.

I’ve had the white areas biopsied and also a tonsillectomy which both came back as follicular hyperplasia. I am just petrified something is being missed and having a hard time at living. I did give up alcohol way back in January so that’s no longer an issue.

I have been offered a bilateral tonsillectomy as I’m getting these infections frequently. Doctor today said that I would be at no greater risk than others, despite being on infliximab and at this point my tonsils are doing me more harm than good.

I had lingual tonsillectomy 3 years ago but terrible throat/ear pain, difficulty swallowing, dizziness and constant feeling of something stuck in back of my throat. Ent did a ct scan a year ago but discharged me as it was normal!
