I was wondering if anyone here had the I-131 radioiodine "drink" and it left scaring in there esophagus?
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks

    um dont know why it
    um dont know why it would

    the drink is normaly less than a glass of water and its basicaly is water it self.

    never heard of it scaring... they also can do it in a pill form.

    but remember iodine is water soluable.

    Well, I found out the scarring is probably from the hiatus hernia...

    Hi MoMomsa,

    My thyroid was removed in Feb. 2010 and I continued to have "pressure" (feeling as if someone is pushing on my throat)for about a year. I think it's scarring from the thyroidectomy. It's back again and I can't figure out why. Are you experiencing pressure?
