I would love to help, but I’m afraid I have no answer because I still have this problem. Fear and anxiety might be a huge factor in how painful it is perceived. Like everything else of course, but this one in particular because it’s in an area where anxiety often resides the most - the throat - hence the huge problem with globus in general. I’ve thought that this is an extreme version of globus, but I’m fed up with the guess work by now.

It’s still quite painful in periods, but I feel it everyday, more so from stress or lack of sleep. Lately I’ve been thinking of blood pressure and pulse, it it has an impact because it can exacerbate the tension and pain. I’m looking into the connection there. Still no answers. The closest explanation is muscle tension and chronic pain followed from that I guess.

Maybe the clicking is a muscle moving around or pressing against the Adam’s apple or if it’s referred muscle tension from a problematic hyoid bone?

I’m still looking for a solution or relief.

Thanks for reaching out. I hope you find some answers. Take care of your mental health, it will help.
