  • Hi Annie, I know its been years since you posted about your throat issues but since I seem to be having exact same symptoms as you going on four months now I thought I would reach out to see how you are doing now and if anything was ever found out about your situation or insight you have. Like you I have had many tests a couple months back. Bloodwork, neck ultrasound, ct scan of neck with dye, neck x ray, and laryngoscopy through nose down throat. Nothing found. I was put on Omeprazole 20 mg about a month ago. Nothing has changed. I have chronic throat pain very low down like right above my collar bone area. Feels like sore or cut in there sometimes, sometimes feels like a hair ball I can't cough up or swallow down or like a sharp pill is stuck. Also it's mostly on the left side only and also down left side of tongue I have a burning pain. Like tongue on that side is on fire and also have a minty or menthol sensation when I breathe in in my throat. Very wierd. All of these pains come and go... mostly comes though and with me all day and night. It's distressing and depressing. I haven't had any issues like this before in my life! I have another ENT appt booked for June 2nd because I simply don't know what to do about it all and am afraid it must be something sinister being missed. My anxiety is through the roof at times and I have a hard time coping until June but can't get in anywhere else, I have called every ENT office in my area.  Thanks for your reply

  • Hi there sorry to hear you have been suffering with your throat or isn't nice at all.o see you have had lots of tests done have they said anything is abnormal at all About them or al clear if so tjem that def is a bonus and should think positive ha e you told them about your tongue too so they examine that as well   ? Mine stopped being like it after a while every now and again I get the feeling on the side of my face under my chin on the right ? Do you grind your teeth or clamp your jaw see a dentist and ask them as maybe that doesn't help and anxiety makes it worse ,I do this all the time now .I hope you get on ok with the next lot of tests and message any time please let me know how you get on x
