Last night, I got up out of my chair. My head was in a downward position and I swallowed. When I did, there was a crunch. Not a pop, but an actual crunch noise from my Adam s apple area. Ever since then, it hurts to swallow and tender to the touch. My voice keeps changing. One time my voice is normal and then all of a sudden I sound like Barry White. It changes on its own. The soreness is not in my throat, it s the Adam s apple area.
