Hello,

Please have a look at the picture and tell me if you see something weird going on.

It’s now been 3 months of tongue/throat hell.

3 months ago, I started feeling that something was stuck on the back of my tongue. I went to the hospital one week later, they found nothing.

Now for the last 3 months,I keep needing to swallow as I feel stuck is stuck on my tongue.

Along with the feeling of stuff stuck on tongue, I have some dryness back of throat, the need to keep swallowing food as it doesn’t go down easily, lost 4 kilos in 1 month (eating properly), extreme tiredness & neck pain (maybe due to the constant swallowing)

I would never try and get a diagnosis from the internet, but I have been seen by many doctors and still waiting for more tests… maybe someone out there have seen this type of issue before and can help out.

Anyone who has a clue, please let me know.

I’m really sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you’ve been experiencing. It sounds incredibly frustrating and uncomfortable. While I can’t provide a diagnosis or medical advice, I can suggest a few things that might be helpful:

  1. Document Symptoms: Keep a detailed log of your symptoms, including any changes or patterns you notice. This information can be valuable for doctors and specialists.

  2. Follow-Up with Specialists: Since you’ve seen multiple doctors already, it might be worth following up with an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist if you haven’t yet. They can offer a more focused evaluation of your throat and tongue issues.

  3. Consider a Second Opinion: Sometimes, getting a second opinion from a different specialist or a center with expertise in swallowing disorders or throat conditions might provide new insights.

  4. Explore Diagnostic Tests: If you haven’t had them already, tests such as an endoscopy or imaging studies (like a CT scan or MRI) might help identify any underlying issues that weren’t visible in initial exams.

  5. Support Groups: Connecting with others who have similar symptoms might offer emotional support and practical tips. They might also share experiences with specialists or treatments that helped them.

I hope you find relief soon and that the upcoming tests provide some answers. In the meantime, it’s great that you’re seeking out information and support.
