What Causes Lump In Throat And Neck Pain?

I have had neck pain for the past tow weeks. It feels like I have slept on it wrong or pinched a nerve. I also have the feeling that something is stuck in the right side of my throat. If I put slight pressure on the back of my neck, I can feel it in the lump in my throat and visa versa. FYI: I am on thyroid medication.

Hi, if you are on thyroid medication then the likely possibility would be an increase in your thyroid gland. You could get an Ultrasound of the neck to see if there is any change in the size or character of the thyroid. Ultrasound would also pick up any other lumps if any in the neck area.
You could show the report to your GP or Surgeon or upload the report on this website for our opinion by asking a GP/ Direct query.
Take care,
