Hey everyone my name is Cindia I am 23 years old. Recently back has been hurting & all of a sudden I developed this weird click in my throat every time I swallow it's like a cartilage click. My ear hurts sometimes, I went to the doctor & got a few X-rays that show that my neck bone is facing the wrong way I don't know how to describe it exactly! But I'm extremely worried! My mother passed away at the age of 38 due to breast cancer I'm a paranoid person. I feel like no one takes me serious because of my age i don't know what to do. Please help :((
I have this too! I got an MRI and some other tests, and my doctor said it is probably bone or cartilage rubbing together because they didn't find anything abnormal. He said sometimes this happens in people who are thin because they don't have enough fat between their bones/cartilage. He said as long as it's not interfering with my ability to eat, it's not a problem. Definitely annoying though! I totally thought I was dying when it first started, but it's been three years and I'm still here. And it's actually gotten a little better, though it still happens if I turn my head to the right when I swallow. Hang in there!
