Hi... its making me feel a little better that I'm not alone with this condition
It started with me about 6 weeks ago, tenderness across the roof of my mouth and the feeling of a lump on right side of lower throat paining into my ear and a dryness at the back of my nose into the throat until I swallow and lubricate it ... I'm also extremely tired
I have had two visits to the Dr, blood test were normal and I'm having another blood test this week for glandular fever
No lumps found by Dr when examining me inside the mouth or feeling my neck
I'm so down and anxious that it's cancer to the point I'm starting to make myself ill and can't sleep for worrying
I recently went to the dentist and nothing noticed there
I'm also begining to think am i imaging all this
Dr has given me a high dose of penicillin but doesn't seem to be making any difference

Hello there,
I am also experiencing similar sensation of lump in my left throat since 2 months and sometimes mild dull pain in my left ear, I was a smoker for 5 years and have quit smoking since April this year. I also feel stiffness/mild pain in my left shoulder. I went to an ENT but it was all fine, he told me that it is due to anxiety and acid reflux which superimpose upon each other. Need not worry, I thought it was squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and God did I imagine it a lot and caused futile mental suffering upon myself.

Yea, same I have this lump in throat feeling and its driving me crazy, it makes like a poping or clicking sensation when I swallow, that is constant with varying intensity from day to day the last few weeks it has felt like somthing is actually stuck in my throat below my Adams apple as well as the popping sensation, it feels like when you get a burp stuck in your throat and you just squeeze to get it out but when I squeeze it gets a lot worse, that aside nothing seems to worsen or aid either of those symptoms they have a schedule entirely of their own the ENT sent me for a barium swallow test (but the day of and the two before my symptoms were at their lowest point that they have been, only to return full force the following day) he gave me anti acid pills,to take for 8 WEEKS....and they haven't done a thing, if anything it seems to be getting worse, they stuck a camera up my nose to see the back of my throat and all they told me was "your voice box looks perfect and we know its not cancer"...almost two moths later its still driving me insane.

YOU TOO! it started with a twinging pain right where my heart is about three months ago I'm only twenty and I'm not overweight but my family is plagued with heart conditions so it concerned me greatly, I went to a heart specialist he did a sonogram observed stress test and said "we don't know what it is but your heart is "100% fine, its not your heart" it didn't completely go away but I had mostly forgotten about it after the heart concern was gone but about a month later I started to get this popping/clicking sensation in my Adams apple whenever I'd swallow it also get kind of tight in my throat, I went to the doctors office who did absolutely nothing, she wouldn't even look down my throat, so I went to an ENT who stuck a camera down my throat through my nose and said "your voice box is fine and its not cancer"...which is great but this is still driving me insane two months later. He sent me for a barium swallow but I don't get to talk to him again until I finish his 8 week long course of anti acid pills, he seemed to think it was stress induced, I just hope he can figure it out, it is a serious burden to me and very uncomfortable.

Same, mine is like a clicking or popping sensation it only occurs when I swallow while my head is pointed forward or to the left, up and to the right it doesn't occur, it is still stressing me out a lot and I'm not the kind of guy that frequents the doctors office, sometimes it feels like I have a burp caught in my throat but if I push it makes it much worse , I really hope they figure out what is causing your discomfort and mune.

Worrying is the worst thing you can do, I have somthing very similar and it has been a HUGE concern for me but they emphasized that it is certainly not cancer, they have yet to figure it out but your concern should be aimed a little more toward how long this is going to bother you, not when it might kill you, I don't think it is life threatening. I hope I have alleviated some concern.

Yes, mibe is a popping sensation when I swallow unaccompanied by tightnes or lump in throat sensation, my ENT gave me anti acid pills and said it was. Also stress induced...but I I'm almost through the anti acid pills and it seems to have actually gotten slightly worse
