As you have been diagnosed by endoscopy and must be on a correct line of treatment, there must be other reasons which are delaying your recovery. It usually takes 1 to 3 weeks to be totally asymptomatic. The causes in your case can be :: Diet should have been soft and bland- to be equally distributed into 4 equal parts of your daily requirements STRESS - this is the biggest contributor. Any activity thoughts which increase stress and anxiety will increase your pain.
