I to suffer from everything, been thru every thing from blood work to renal scan. Dr's say nothing wrong. I have never been one to let things worry me, but I'm real scared. I think the GP and specialists (ENT, Gasterontologist, Urologist) (passed from one to the other) think i'm nut's. For the last year, had a lump in the throat feeling. Diagnosed w/ GERD. placed on meds, didn't work, abdomin got sore along w/ the sore throat and feeling of something being stuck there. told it was Globus sensation. All tests showed nothing. No hernia, lungs and everything else clear. Have tried diet, exercise, and other forms of relaxation. I'm not one to take alot of meds as I am a mother of 2 young kids and need to maintain my wits. I dont feel sick, eat well, sometimes tired, but the constant worrying have been causing havoc w/ my ability to relate w/ my family. If any one has ideas on how to get rid of the lump in the throat feeling, constant clearing of throat, gross taste(have had tonsil stones before) pls let me know. or how to put it out of the mind if thats all it is. I have never been sick, normal everyday stress load. I'd love your ideas.
Thanks Still frustrated

I have the same symptoms. Feels like my throat is closing or
swelling. Here is what I know...I have a small bone spur in
my neck, and I have a bulging disc. The neurosurgeon told me
that I might experience this sensation. However, I also have
chronic sinusitis with post nasal drip. Was operated on for that.
Now, the feeling in my throat come and goes. Went to the
chiropractor. Did get some relief. So, your guess is as good as
the rest of us. Did breathe better after steroid treatment, as an aside.

This is the feeling you get when you have TONSIL STONES.

They are irregularly shaped, whitish/yellow, foul-smelling globs of mucus and bacteria that get caught in the back of the throat. They form in the tonsil crypts which are simply small pockets or divots that appear in everyones tonsils. The scientific name for these white globs is tonsilloliths.

Doctors are divided about what causes them. Children and adults can both get them.

When they fall out of the tonsil, they are often a very tiny peice, and you don't notice, then you swallow it on accident, and it gives you a sensation like something is crawling up your throat, when really its just stuck there trying to get down.

The only way to get rid of these items is through a tonsillectomy. You can however try antibitocis and use of a waterpick (under doctors advice).

You can see these things if you lift the tonsil with a wet clean q-tip.

I had them for years. They are harmless to your health, but can be uncomfortable. I just had my tonsills removed... because I got tired of those nasty things.
