Neck Pain

[dionnek]

For the past 2 days I've had extreme neck pain in the front left side of my neck, near the base. It is like sharp pain but it is constant, and it is definitely not a muscle - I was wondering if this could be my thyroid (I have hypothyroidism) - does anyone else ever have this pain? I don't notice any swelling or anything, just the internal pain.

I've been having bad pain on the left side of the neck too, but mine is higher up and more to the side. I think mine is muscle related though because if I feel around I can find a sore spot--the pain also radiates into the head and down into the shoulder which is another reason I think mine is muscle or tendon related (are there tendons in the neck, lol). It's a pretty constant pain and doesn't matter whether I move my head/neck or not...the pain is always there but it's not always sharp if that makes sense. I feel it now, but rather than sharp, it's kind of a dull pain, and if I think about it much more it will make me nauseous--that kind of pain.

Yeah, yours sounds more like a muscle strain or something like that. I can't find any particular spot by feeling around, and it actually feels better when I press on my neck. It is just to the left of my larynx or whatever that's called in the center of your throat (adams apple for men). It comes and goes, but seems fine when I'm sleeping.

I tried doing an Internet search for "neck pain" and for "thyroid pain"...got lots of hits--I read a few of them, but the sites I read didn't seem to fit your description of the pain. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I have 3 hernated disks in my neck (c4-c6) so Im no stranger to neck pain...but yours sounds like something different. If you have thyroid issues it could be a goiter..but I havent read it causes pain..

theres also thryoid nodules or thyroiditis...either way..ask your dr to be sure if it doesnt go away.

Also, when i first found out I had GERD..my main sympton was the feeling of a lump in my throat that wouldnt go away.

Good luck!

It's really weird. I didn't have it all weekend, but then I went running today and it started during my run and continued for several hours after. I can't feel any swelling or anything (like the endo feels for when I go), but I think I might go to the nurse in my office and have my thyroid levels checked again just to be safe. Even though I just had them checked a month ago
