I have it too and will be getting an ultrasound of my neck today. I have searched online and I THINK I know what we might have...a blocked eustachian tube. I also have ringing in the left ear and it just feels like it is somehow connected to my ear, but when the doctor looks into my ear, she sees nothing wrong. Go online and look up the anatomy of the ear and see where the eustachian tube is in relation to where the pain is. I bet the pain we are feeling is the eustachian tube either plugged or inflamed. It is very painful just in one particular spot, deep, deep in the neck under and behind the jawbone. I'll let you know what I find.

Same! I don't have any of the other problems just sometimes when I swallow I get this weird like pinching feeling or something g inside my neck on the left under my jaw. I can't really describe the feeling actually its just odd I don't even want to swallow.

I have had blocked eustachian tubes since sinus surgery in 2013. It is relentless, impacting the quality of my life to a significant degree. I also have a very tender spot deep in my tissue on the back (and to the right side) of my neck. It's always there with no palpable lump. Consider the involvement of the trigeminal nerve, either by mechanical pinching by TMJ disorder, or a viral infection of this nerve by Epstein Bar Virus as postulated in the book, Medical Medium. I am currently taking anti-viral and being treated for TMJ by a neuromuscular dentist. I'VE tried many things that have not helped (and been to 3 ENT's who were no help). I will keep you posted. Interestingly, a month after I began anti-virals my anxiety (which I never had prior to this condition) has lessened. This could be viral. I'd pay a lot ogf $$ to get relief from blocked ears!!

Same issue. Left side. Sore in one location and stiff neck. Dr recommended ibuprofen and gargle mouthwash. So far so good. Woke next day soreness and stiffness gone. Still going to keep up with treatments tho.

I have had this issue for 6 months now. Pain in my neck about 4 inches under my ear. Everything coming back negative. All scans showing negative. I could swear i have a nodule or something there but none of the doctors can figure it out. Hurts to the touch. I just had my 3rd sonogram today. Still negative. No one has any freaking clue what this is from???

Did you ever figure out what was going on? I have the same problem.. left side of neck under chin near pulse. A dull annoying pain that comes and goes. Does it seem to be allergy related to you?

I have the pain too. I believe it has to do with sinus infection if you say it goes when on antibiotics. I wonder if the heart if effected by sinus infection as it is by oral infection. Because it's on the left side it makes me suspicious that it is somehow related to the heart.

So, I have been putting off going to the doctor again. I too have that soreness. It is not a "sore throat" like with a cold. I can push my tongue way back in my throat and then I feel the ache, only on my right side. It shoots up into my ear. The other day my jaw and back upper molar ached all day. Driving me crazy. Keep thinking it could be throat cancer.

I too have this issue.. it's a very localized pain under left ear, I think it's in the SCM or digastric muscle. My dr couldn't find any lumps.. I'm going to try a massage. I also suffer from reflux and anxiety.

Im currently having the same pain left of throat about mid jugular. Very sore to touch. Aching up to my left jaw and ear and even to my left shoulder. Has anyone figured out an explanation? Its starting to worry me.

Omg thank you I am not old enough to go to college but I also have been experiencing the exact same thing, I keep saying "no I'm fine I'm probably just exaggerating" but then I'll swallow and I get this severe pain. I don't like going to the doctors because I'm afraid if when they scan or search they'll find nothing and my mom will get mad and tell me to stop sounding pitiful or stop exaggerating but at the same time what if they do find something and can help. Also sometimes during school the most recent one was yesterday at lunch I ate rice and popcorn chicken and my throat felt fine but right after it would start again. For me it is in the same spot deep left side and it's really sore. Does anyone if this is something minor or severe?
