What Causes Pain In The Adams Apple?

WHEN I TOUCH ETHER SIDE OF MY ADAMS APPLE I GET REALLY SHARP PAINS IN THE BACK OF MY NECK. I WOULD LIKE TO WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS COULD BE? I AM CURRENTLY IN AFGHANISTAN AND WAS BLOWN UP BY A 300 LBS IED. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR OUT HERE, AND HE TOLD ME HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY I HAD PAIN IN MY NECK WHEN TOUCHING MY ADAMS APPLE AND THEN GAVE ME 10MG OF AMITRIPTYLINE AND FIORICET FOR MY HEADACHE. HE TOOK ME WITH A GRAIN OF SALT BECAUSE HE HAD NEVER HERD OF THIS PROBLEM. SO, WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE INSIGHT BEFORE I GO BACK.
