What Causes Throat Irritation And Sore Muscles In The Neck?

I feel a clicking, grinding sensation deep in my throat to the left of my adam s apple when I turn my head to the right. I also often feel general tightness and sometimes even soreness in the muscles on the left side of my head and neck (particularly around my left ear and top of head at the left rear corner and also my left sinus). I m 38 years old. I ve had these symptoms for a few years now. The systoms are slightly worse than when they first started. A newer symptom is sometimes the left side of my jaw clicks and feels out of joint when I eat something very chewy or tough. I have a desk job which probably contributes to my poor posture. I went to a chiropractor for around 6 months a couple years ago but it never helped. I m a side sleeper and have been sleeping with a thinner pillow lately which has helped a little bit.
