Prilosec and burning throat,bone aches,and headache...
Has anyone else had this when wl surgeon put you on it ? I had my scope and mine told me had a little inflammation and acid reflux. I never even had any symptoms of this until he put me on the dang pill ! I called them today to ask if I could get something else to take or a lower dose. They never called back yet. 
It's called "silent GERD" where you have no symptoms but they could see the damage in the scope. I have it from the lap band. It can wreck havoc on your esphagus and cause serious damage including Barratt's esophagus a precancerous condition. Do contact your doc tho and discuss it with him, he is the professional.
they got back with me and said I was having allergic reaction to the prilosec and they are going to call me in something else. Glad I called them . The Doc never told me I had silent Gerd. Just said a little inflamed from small acid reflux. He said I would only have to use the pills for a little while. Hope he is right.

Ok the board "experts" will come out in force but when I start having gut issues I take some pepto once a day for 2 or 3 days along with Zantac and I get instant reliefs. The bysmuth coats the stomach to prevent the burning and gives the irritation a chance to heal.
This is is my personal experience...it's up to you if you want to try it. I am 6 yrs out.
