What Causes Pain And Tenderness In Front Of Neck?
I have a pain in the front left side of my neck. It s not like a sore throat pain or something I could take meds for to fix. It s sore to the touch and in the same proximity as my glands/lymph nodes. It s tender to the touch but doesn t appear swollen. Should I be concerned? It started two days ago, hasn t worsened but hasn t gotten better either and yet I feel fine!

Hi,
If I was appointed to treat you, I will suggest:
- Evaluation of thyroid gland [physical examination] or may require thyroid hormones status
- Complete physical examination of head and neck is needed [even direct laryngoscopy may needed]
- CT scan is best to rule out any anatomical complication
Overall, it is needed to be ones checked by a physician as stress is the cause for many diseases in researches 90%. Join some yoga / breathing exercise workshops, art of living happiness course is one option. Stop if you are taking alcohol, smoke, caffeine, harsh foods [non-veg]. They are generally seen in any pathophysiology of disease.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
