Hi Chris,

Just looking through this thread when I noticed your recent reply. It seems that your still waiting for a definitive diagnosis for your throat and ear issues; I feel your frustration. I've also had reflux issues for 10yrs, but generally this has been minor without any other effects to my health. I've had a sore throat for the last 5 weeks or so; mostly on my right side, which initially came and went for the first few weeks, but has been much more persistent the last few weeks and I am now finding it uncomfortable swallowing and eating/drinking etc. 

Not sure how quickly symptoms of a throat related cancer would worsen, but I'm feeling rather unsettled. I've had some blood work which came back normal, and have been waiting for the last 2-3weeks for an appointment with an ENT doctor, I've been told the waiting times could be upto 4months! Have you been seen by a specialist yet? Or have your visits/tests just been with your G.P? 

Hope your feeling better soon, and have some more answers.

I had paint when swallowing on left side for couple weeks, then lost my voice and big pain, for more then a week. The voice came back but all neck feels stiff and swollen, small pain on the left side, sometimes itchy, no fever or cough, its like that for a month now, so strange never had that before.

 Been to gp, had 2 different antibiotics, blood came back ok.

Been having the exact same symptoms... initially started off as a pain on the left had side of throat and initial weeks was rather painful to swallow.

Now its just a dull pain. Any update? Are you still experiencing these symptoms
