Sore throat for last 3 months or more. Has scan on thyroid and camera up the nose down to the larynx.  Said could be reflux. I'm going doc tomorrow to try organise MRI.  Have camera going into eosophagus on Monday.  Docs don't panic but I'm getting it hard to keep it together.

Time will tell I hope.

Hi Annie

Gosh we are both in the same boat!!  I have had a sort of sore throat on one side and slightly painful sensation in the year for about five weeks.

Went to Doctors twice and they said not to worry.  Of course I did, and I am!!  Made a private appointment to see ENT specialist.  He looked everywhere and did the flexible endoscope thing down my nose and said all looked normal.  Did say though to go for MRI which is due on 2nd September.  The pain seems to come and go and sometimes I think it is all in my mind and relax and then, like this morning, it's back!!  I start reading all the stuff on google and I have all the symptoms for throat cancer!!!

I feel absolutely fine but now am so stressed that I can't stop thinking about it.  One part of me says how can I feel so good and have cancer.  We must keep in touch.  

Good luck

Sue

Try not to panic.

I had a persistent sore throat which didn't go away.  Saw an ENT and had the endoscope. Then an MRI. Then a "panendoscopy" under general anaesthetic.  After all that - got an all clear.  That was about 18 months ago. 

Thanks for your reply.  That's good to hear.  Did you go to see a specialist privately or did your GP send you?  I was too nervous to wait for a referral so went to the specialist privately.  Cost a lot and the MRI scan will be nearly £500 but worth it for peace of mind.

Do you still have the sore throat??:)

I was referred by my GP so everything was paid for by the NHS.  Yes, I still have the sore throat - don't know why. 

Well at least you can relax now and not worry.  After all those tests you must be fine!  Hope I'm the same.

Good luck for the future

Sue

Good luck to you, too. 

Hi all you guys, I had a constant sore throat  and swollen tonsils since November 2018 when i had the flu. After a few months i went to docs and he gave me antibiotics, it didnt clear up ! A few mobths later i went to docs again, he gave me steriods and antibiotics. Still didnt clear up. Felt really rubbish, throat really sore, making me feel weak, my bones were aching like i had mild flu all of the time. He.ended up sending me to hospital. Ultrasound, xray, several scans later, still nothing wrong  found. 

My doctor took a blood test for an unrelated matter, i was found to be viramin D Deficent. I started taking 1000mg of vitamin D everyday, and within 2 weeks my throat had virtually cleared up. After nearly a year i was starting to feel better .... unbelievable ! 

I can't believe that that was all it was!

Please try it, it worked for me , what have you got to lose but a few quid on vitamin D tablets !

Im 46

Good luck guys xx

I will give this a try, 

Thank you, 

Many blessings, 

John.
