    Sounds like GERD/hiatus hernia. Is the poking sensation an itchy feeling in his throat and a feeling of wanting to clear his throat?Burning sensations in your throat sounds like acid reflux. Your brother should not worry or feel depressed. If it is either of these conditions, they are treatable. Has had an endoscopy? He should try a food diary to see if a food is causing it and avoid rich, spicy and fatty foods. He could also try antacid medication or milk. I have acid reflux and it didn't show up on endoscopy. It sounds more like a gut problem than neuropathic. He should keep going back to his doctor. Other conditions to look for are h pylori and gastritis.

      Has it been described as a type of neuralgia and has treatment been offered? I have neuralgia in both arms and hands and recently in my feet and leg, all as a result of injuries. If it is neuralgia, there isn't a lot that can be done other than low dose anti depressants or anti convulsants that can cause nasty side effects.

      I read up on the ninth nerve problem, and it describes it as a form of neuralgia/nerve problem. Doctors sometimes call neuralgia, nerve pain.You will find other terminology too such as neuropathy which means the same thing as neuralgia or nerve pain. There are many types and causes of neuralgia.

      Unfortunately, physical exertion worsens the back and neuralgic problems I have. I tried chiropractors and I ended up having a huge immune reaction to it along with severe pain. I was quite unwell for nine months because of it. The only things that help to reduce symptoms are heat and anti inflammatory pain killers.
