Hi everyone. I guess you could count me in as well. I've had a clicking throat for many months now. Along with other symptoms. Although the actual clicking is painless, this is associated with much pain around the throat and it's painful both emotionally and physically. The clicking seems to be on the left side of the Adams apple, as many of you say, but I could be wrong. The lump feeling, and clicking feeling, sometimes changes depending on posture or head turn - but either way, swallowing feels off and tense. I'm waiting for a CT-scan. I'll keep you updated.

I'm intrigued that so many have this problem and that doctors across many disciplines are perplexed. It seems though, when reading this thread that some ENT surgeons you mention have some experience in this and are at least able to suggest a specific treatment.

There are many things to consider here however and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I'm trying to compile a list of sorts that have helped some of you, and then I might go through it and see if anything works. I see no other option. We all share a main symtom but it might have different causes, and thus different treatment options, who knows.

I check this thread pretty often and glad to see you are going for a CT it sounds like that kind of imaging is needed to figure out what exactly is causing it. For me it all started after a virus and sore throat on the left side. Many months later this clicking started and its near the location of where the sore throat was. When I swallow the left side still feels slightly tense but I have no idea what is causing it, there is a slight difference between the left and right side near the adam's apple/hyoid bone. Sounds similar to your symptoms. The emotional aspect of this is immense. Every time I swallow the clicking symptom triggers a thought then I touch my throat. I've been trying to ignore it but its very difficult.

Hello. Did you get help? Perhaps you could help me too. I have had similar symptoms for many years but doctors can't figure out the cause. The constant lump feeling on my left side of adams apple and the clicking is driving me nuts. I'm so depressed and I don't know what to do

hello, did you discover anything? help please. thank you
