Hello, I just wanted to bump this post up to see if anyone had some insight on my symptoms. 90% have gone now. I just have this odd sensation still at the back of my tongue, I don't think I can see anything but sometimes(not all the time) feels like I have food stuck at the back. Sometimes sore mainly in the evening but I'm not sure if it's becuase I keep moving my tongue along my teeth. I know my dentist and doctors have said not to worry but I can't help but worry! Thanks for reading.

Hi!! Have u asked for a swab to be taken? I'm having problems with my tongue at the min, covered in white cotton like feeling like something is stuck or like I need a tongue scraper! 

it could be something ur eating anything new? Or a little infection. 

Ive had this for 3 months I did get a Swab taken 2 months ago and it came back with thrush.  I do have other symptoms sore throat and now 1 swollen tonsil! I called my dr yesterday and I've been referred me to ENT and more thrush Med and I'm so scared. Xx 

Morning! 
 

I could have written that myself. I was originally concerned about my right tonsil too! How weird is that! And now all my pain is left side only. Something doesn't add up here. 
 

oh that's not good. Yes do so, and hopefully that one will be strong enough to help you. 
 

I need to be more firm, I am a little bit soft and a bit of a pushover, and then feel disheartened when something hasn't been resolved. 
 

when I wake up in the morning, I can't work out where these sensations are coming from, the tip of my tongue but towards the left side not directly in the centre, the back of my tongue at the left side, or the back of my tongue left side on the top. It's like a tingling burning fuzzy sensation that's the only way I can describe it. Iv tried to tell myself allergies, vitamin deficiency, thrush, burning mouth syndrome and then I get to cancer and it's like yep that's got to be it! Why? Why do we always have to assume the worst when there's so many more reason. My throat isn't as sore this morning, but we will see if it gets worse over the course of the day. Hopefully not. 
 

yes them ones I think they are called circumvallate papillae. Google told me haha. 
 

I agree talking to someone who doesn't think I am going mad is really helping, and if you ever need to chat just please come on here and find me. 
 

hope you have a good night sleep too xx

Hi Iona-123 

how are you? 
 

this morning I have woken up feeling very deflated, can't shift the fear I have tongue cancer. I am just getting so frustrated with not having a diagnosis of anything and still living with this sensations 9 weeks on. I have just booked myself another GP appointment but with a complete different doctor, I just need to know what on earth is going on! 

Hi! 
so sorry this is such a late reply! I'm so sorry u have been feeling like this how are you now?

its been a busy couple of weeks for me and have been kept busy. I got a further tongue swap and it showed nothing so was given a tablet to see if it would lift the white on tongue and did did help a lot with the whiteness. I got blood tests taken and it came back with high Iron so I'm in a right state so was back today for further blood tests. 

i still have that dry awful feeling on tongue but for last two days I have cut out dairy and it seems to be helping slightly. 
I don't know where else at this point to turn I've further drs call Monday morning. It's awful all this worrying xxx 

Hi Iona, 

sorry for the late reply. Honestly, mY mouth feels back to normal all bar a few niggles every so often, I think having 2 dentists look at me definitely reassured me and the anxiety was released. 
 

sorry to hear you are still suffering. Glad the swab came back fine and the tablets for the white tongue are helping.

it's funny because sometimes when I have a yoghurt or tea it makes my tongue feel weird but honestly this last week and a bit I have felt rather normal... up until yesterday when I found a pea size lump near my nipple... my next worry. 
 

how are you feeling now?

I have accepted your friend request, message me whenever you want, I am always here for a chat, sometimes talking to somebody who is going through the same worries or been through the same can help bring the worries down xxx

Hi girls I hope ur ok , I'm currently feeling an irritating pain at the back of my tongue on the left side - I've been torturing myself examining my tongue and can see a bump on the left side and not the right - looks like folitatte papillae but why only one side? So worried 

[@Flightglide]‍ welcome To the dreaded forum. I have to admit though there are some really lovely people out there with some great advice and support. I'm sorry to hear you are having some health concerns. I will give you my outcome, but I am not giving you a diagnosis. What you have just described is what I went to my doctor about twice and my dentist 3 times before I had a second opinion from a second dentist on my third visit there. We are NOT symmetrical. I have that "lump" in the left side of my tongue too. It is a normal pet of my anatomy. Believe it or not after that visit, 90% of my symptoms went. Anxiety plays a major part in symptoms, I know that now. But what I will say is I still get the odd feeling back there, but what I have realised is I bite the front side of my tongue and I have a feeling I am doing nerve damage to my tongue. Have you been to see a doctor or a dentist? Only they can tell you the matter is. I hope u are ok! X

Thanks so much for replying

I was at dentist 6 weeks ago for a check up , this has only started happening since about Monday or Tuesday so hasn't said do dentist at time - I have an appointment In 2 weeks which is the earliest I could get - I did a photo to a dentist I know and she said it looks like friction, I know I clamp down on the back of my tongue . I also have neck lymph node issues so my health anxiety links it all together and comes up with the worst which is difficult but today I feel like fighting back a bit at the health anxiety as it's exhausting and sometimes lies to you . 
 

thanks for replying and glad yours has gone :) xxxx

Hello just read this and I have the exactly the same feeling! Back left of my throat feels like toungue side. Going to the ENT Monday 3 months in the making and everyone brushing me off feel like a paranoid mess. All started off when I was yawning a pain in the left side then led to this feeling like something is stuck there but I am noticing that different foods are making it come and go a lot worst. Drank water all day today and felt so much better. Just want the ENT appointment over and done with :) hope you are all doing ok x

Hi all, these stories are my symptoms exactly. 

Started in March 21 with a very dry throat and white coated tongue. Back and forwards to the Docs numerous times, seem not concerned. Tried thrush meds to no affect. Extremely anxious and have an appointment with ENT next week. This is taking over and ruining my life. M56. 

Hi everyone, 

dod anyone get anywhere with this? I've had the same sensation on the back left of my tongue for 4 months. Doctor wasn't concerned. I'm trying to just ignore it but I'm getting so worked up. I just want to curl up in a ball in my bed :( 

I've suffered with health anxiety for almost 13 years and it is really getting on top of me, I try and be positive but it's like someone is saying it's cancer and your ignoring it! 
 

im going out of my mind with worry and get myself in such a state even attempting to call for a doctors appointment. I just want this to stop :(
