Hi there. I have had the same thing for 6 months now.  All started from a normal cold and then a chest infection.

Had a few CBCs and all come back clear, as did infection markers.

They thought it was silent reflux and had 5 weeks of Omeprazole which did nothing.

Had the camera down throat at ENT and he said no cancer but had swollen lymph nodes and should be ok in a few weeks. This was June and it's still bad now.

Other doctors thought it was Glandular Fever, but 2 blood tests didn't confirm it. Was not strep either.

Now they think it could be my thyroid (been on Levo for 11 years now).

Got a throat ultrasound in a couple of weeks and done nothing but cry and cry for months as convinced I have cancer.  

I so hope everyone on this thread is ok now and found out what they have.

Hi debsy, how are you now? 

Not great.  In a bit of a state typing this. Just feel like I am being strangled and terrible pain all over body.  Doctors turned me away once more Tuesday with nothing to say.  So my Xmas is ruined. I so hope you are feeling  better xx

So sorry to hear this, my throat also isn't good, very painful and nothing seems to be easing it, 

How long have you had this issue?

I've had a similar experience which has been ongong since August this year. I had a burning pain in my chest, uncomfortable swallowing, increasingly sore throat & recent weight loss which my GP diagnosed as Gastro Oesophagal Reflux Disease. Standard medications didn't relieve the symptoms so I had an endoscopy with biopsies which were clear. I've also had a chest x ray, chest CT scan, an abdominal ultrasound & blood tests all of which came back normal. I'm now waiting for the results of a head & neck CT scan. All very worrying & frustrating.

Sounds identical to what I am going through. They have never suggested CT for me.  Had most of the other tests you have had and all normal. They tried to get mine diagnosed as either glandular fever or Reflux.  2 ENT appointments said it wasn't. I am only glad I am not the only one suffering like this and hope you will be well soon x 

Hi just wanted to ask how are u doing now?

Thanks 

Iv had the camera up nose down throat not the best experience but it was clear thankfully 

I still get the pain in the side of throat it comes on and off and quite sever when it does  

it's weird sometimes I feel like I can make it worse with the way my neck is I do still worry about it but try to think positive which I'm not great at 

how are you 

Hi thank you for asking.

I still have the same symptoms - painful swallowing, fatigue, weight loss, sore throat, dry mouth. 

I saw an ENT consultant who gave me the all clear. I've also had a Barium Swallow which came back as abnormal. Apparently I have a crycopharangeal indentation in the muscle between the pharynx & the food pipe. I haven't yet had a follow up appointment for this - saw the report in my online records. No indication that it is cancer but hopefully something can be done to rectify it. I've also got a blood test to check for auto immune diseases.

 Did you find out more ?

I have much the same symptoms but I'm not investigated yet.
