Steve, it seems I can't remember my throat not hurting. Eating drinking water or just swallowing. This for the last 2 1/2 yrs. I feel sorry for you really but it's part of our fight with the OC bully that has grabbed us. Maybe your pain will end one day soon. I wish everyones in here would, but until it does we just have to do our best and go on living..
