Oesophageal Stent has slipped into stomach, now blocked because the end is up against wall of stomach.

• Another rollercoaster week at the OC funfair. I have been in creasing pain and Dysphagia in the last 2wks and the consultant Oncologist decided " we need to do a Gastroscopy to see what's going on, as well as a CT.After the awfulness last time of Stent placement I would only agree to Gastroscopy as long as it was done under General Anaesthetic.This means the hospital have been trying to slip me into the Emergency list.But after attempting this 3 days in a row each time I got " bumped" quite rightly for an emergency.So now I'm waiting to hear when.The poa is to fish out the old stent and put a new one in.

My main problem atm is Pain, it's really painful and I'm trying to balance Oramorph and Paracetamol as neither seems to work for longer than 3-4 hours.Ive been referred to the community palliative care team but they can't start till they've met with me and because I'm awaiting this procedure I can't really book apts.Anyone any ideas has anyone tried adding ibuprofen into the pain management mix?
