I have this as well. 40 year old Female. Thin, Non smoker/non drinker. The right side of my throat is numb/decreased sensation. I do believe there are some triggerpoints in my sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Also my ear feels odd, hearing is fine. I don't know if that is just the numbness from my throat causing the ear discomfort. My cheekbone has also been slightly sore, comes & goes. Top of head sore, feels like old migraine pain. Back right side of my neck muscle is sore.
I have been to my primary care two times, 2 different ENTs. Ultrasound scheduled May 2017.
I am wondering if this is injury from weight lifting or if it could be my thyroid? of course my mind is racing and I'm thinking something more sinister.
