Back pain and GERD

I had severe chronic upper back pain for nearly a year. Finally got to the right type of doctor. Found fistulla in esophagus above fundo. Redid fundo unfortunately for the third time in order to get to the fistulla. Now have partial fundo and acid has returned and caused back pain again. I have been put on Cytotec Tabs and it coats the stomach and esophagus....back pain gone. Still have reflux though. Oh well. Hopefully it will go with time!
