Hi [@gravy]‍ 

You can still phone your GP despite the coronavirus.

Sorry to hear you are so anxious.

Can you tell your GP what you have posted here so they know all of your concerns?

Hi, 

I have same symptoms and been on 2 courses of antibiotics but nothing worked. Did you have mild fever as well with that? Around 37.6 c.

I am getting crazy and they aren't offering a blood test cuz of covid.

Hi [@Winglow]‍ 

Can you also contact your GP? Hope it goes well.

[@gravy]‍ Did you contact your GP? If so, how did it go?

I'm not getting a ENT. Basically been told it's anxiety. And she said 100%...not 99.9%...I would never say 100% without a physical exam but hey ho. I assume if I can stop the constant need to swallow the neck and throat soarness will go away, easier said than done in the current climate.

I'll get a call back in 2 weeks to reavaluate. Fair is fair there's people in far worse positions atm so have to hope it eases off.

Hi [@gravy]‍ 

I am really sorry you must be feeling really frustrated at this. Please let us know how things go in two weeks thank you.

Frustrating for everybody.

My neck and throat plays up all day and now I'm getting ear pain. Just on your mind all day long worrying is this something serious or just a posture and anxiety reaction because of lockdown.

Dentists are opening up soon, have to hope doctors and hospitals open up so everybody with symptoms can get peace of mind and get checked out

Big hugs to you I wish I could help and I hope you do get some medical attention soon.

Hi, I have been having very similar symptoms. I have had lower back pain for most of the year and went to both a Chiro & Osteo and helped a little. I had some slightly brown sputum first thing in the morning and had mildly sore throat (not great pain, just a little annoying, but constant) in addition to a sliglt inflamation of my left ear. 2 weeks ago I got a pain in the upper back and 1 week ago started getting neck pain. Like you my girlfriend puts this down to bad posture and I think she could be right, but I am a still a little worried.

I went to the Dr, told her about my throat and sputum. She gave me anti-biotics, I had a full blood test done which came back normal (no inflmatory markers) and I am booked in for a x-ray in a few days. 

The Dr said I had a very slight crackle on the right side of my back (lung area) which is why she asked for the x-ray in the first place. She said, the throat and ear was viral and unrelated to the slight crackle in my lung. 

This waiting stuff sucks, I don't feel bad, but I don't feel good, well at least not 100%. 

Today I have a right stinging throat. My neck is better but I still have ear pain. It's just a constant worry when you cannot get checked out. Been told to see how I am in a few weeks. Hopefully if the Virus stays  away everybody with health worries can get seen to. 

I'm really hoping it's GERD nothing more sinister
