Hello to everyone who is facing this very unsettling problem. I've been following this thread since the beginning of this year. And looking for treatment for that too since the beginning of this year. Since I found this forum, I saw that I was not alone and that not only motivated me to seek a solution to the problem, but also help others, like everyone here, to solve it as well. In a way, I decided to volunteer as a human laboratory, looking for treatments for this in order to bring him here. First I went to a doctor who asked for a nasofibrolaryngoscopy, so I did and she said that everything was fine and that the "click" could have muscle causes, I was prescribed a muscle relaxant which I took for a few days but didn't see any results. After a while I went to another doctor and clearly mentioned that I had a popping sound when I swallowed and turned my neck. She ordered another nasofibrolaryngoscopy and a CT scan. And so I did. In nasofibrolaryngoscopy, fortunately, nothing was detected. And so far I'm waiting to return with my doctor and see what she can identify in the CT scan. I, like everyone here, lived many moments of anxiety, crying, and suffering because of this; even more so because I am passionate about acting and communication and this has affected me directly. But seeing that there are other people with the same problem motivated me even more to seek a solution for it, you can be sure, that what I can do to bring a possible solution for myself and also for all of you here, I will do. I hope you are getting better from this problem and if not, stay optimistic, because there is definitely a solution! See you soon and be well!

Hello @letsolve and welcome to Connect. I appreciate you adding your story of this problem to our discussion. It sounds like you are actively advocating for yourself with your medical team. I really admire it when a person is proactive! We all need to do this, especially when we are faced with an elusive or hard-to-diagnose problem.

From your post, it sounds as if you are mainly working with ENT specialists. Is that the case? How long have you had this problem?
