Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I have a pain in my neck. It hurts when I swallow but it is not my throat. It appears to be on the left side, next to my throat. I can feel my jugular vein in the area so presume it may be a muscle. There does not appear to be any swelling. I have looked at the anatomy and it looks like the sternohyoid muscle. This is the 4th day I have had the pain. It is not dibilitating, but IT am constantly aware of it. Swallowing is tender, but I find that it has put me in quite a irratible mood.can you suggest anything.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pain in the neck is likely to be due to a muscular problem. This can be due to a sprain or spas in the area. Rest and hot fomentation will help in improvement. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
