I have been having this pain in the front of my neck for weeks and weeks. It started not long after a bad bout of tonsilitis so originally I thought it hadnt cleared up and got more antibiotics, but they didn't help.
It literally feels sore all the way from under my jaw, down my windpipe and either side, and all around my thyroid. It seems to ache a lot, and this gets worse throughout the day...sometimes at the end of the day I feel like I don't want to keep my head up or talk as it feels so sore. There are also some specific points in my throat which feel incredibly tender,almost as if they are bruised.
It doesnt really hurt to swallow. It does sometimes hurt more if I yawn or cough. Its better if I lie down on my back. I am used to anxiety causing muscle tension at the back of my neck or shoulders, but never this.
Has anyone else had this feeling? Was it anxiety? As usual I am worried about something more serious like thyroid cancer....
