Undiagnosed constant cronic neck pain - near my lymph glands under my throat, radiating throughout
Posted , 1 user is following.
Symptoms started 6 years ago. Frequency at the beginning was once a week or two, progressing to everyday now. Starting to become very mentally fatiguing and a overwhelming hopelessness has set in of finding out what's wrong with me.
Sypmtoms:
Inflammation feeling area in between my adams apple and under my jaw, sometimes feels like behind tonsils. sore to apply pressure in that area on outside of underjaw/neck. Anti-inflammatory drugs help. Worsens with alcohol and smoking. (have quit a few months ago now and not getting better). Sometimes throat feels restricted. Occasionally have a little thick mucous in the mornings. I thought it was lymph gland related.
MRI brain scan-showing neck region as well-all normal.
CT scan with contrast - all normal
Nuclear Medicine scans- all normal included looking at reflux studies.
Ear Nose Throat specialist camera down my nose into throat (5years ago all normal) -maybe i need another one?
Endoscopy-3 years ago - all normal
unless they are missing something physical in the scans i'm at a loss. Im happy that they didnt find anything serious. but to not find anything on what is going on is really concerning me and my everyday mental health.
Globus sensation? this much pain?
silent Reflux - ruled out by nuclear medicine studies.
Is it the nerves in that area playing up?
If someone could please let me know if there are any other options to seek.
I can upload scans or results if you think you can help.
Thank you
