quote:From my understanding, he fell and had to have hip surgery, so he is not walking around much. He was put under and when he came out of it he could not swallow. He can talk, he can think, but he can't swallow. That has got to be incredibly frustrating for him.
Op is asking if MJ will help dysphagia. I've never heard of that
Having the munchies but not being able to satisfy that urge would be hell on earth. And tube feeds ain't going to cut it
I'm wondering what caused the dysphagia. Stroke? Mechanical damage from intubation (rare)
I'm guessing the pt has already been seen by all sub specialists
Is he awake and alert and walking around?

I have dysphagia, but not anywhere near the extent of what your uncle is going through. I also had 5 level ACDF. So my condition is understandable. No sure why hip surgery would cause that condition in your uncle's case. My surgeon sent me to the Speech Therapist at the Lake. Your uncle has a dangerous condition that could cause him to suffocate. Needs to be treated.
