Throat pain right side only, sore right ear, nose sores 4 months

Posted by abbyk @abbyk, Dec 23, 2018

Hi, has anyone else had these symptoms? In September i had the sensation of a lump at the very bottom right side of my throat, just between my collar bones. Over the past 4 months the sensation has turned to somewhat severe pain that steadily progressed up my throat. The pain now extends up the entire right side of my windpipe and into my right ear canal. It burns to breathe in, but my ENT consult scope showed nothing abnormal. I can swallow but there is some pain as the food passes the sore area. Also, My right side carotid artery area gets tender and swollen for about a week then improves. But keeps coming back. My ear pain includes inner ear pain and cartilage pain near the ear canal entrance. My right side sinus has been burning and feeling very dry. My nose has sores in the tip that crack, crust and dont heal. I have also had severe fatigue and hip pain while having the throat symptoms. I have had corneal inflammation over the past 5 years but am otherwise in great health. I've had numerous blood tests, an ent consult scope, and a thyroid ultrasound to try find the cause of this sore throat and nothing has shown up besides slightly elevated c reactive protein. NSAIDs do not help with the pain. Right now I suffer from chronic throat ear, and sinus pain. I am getting so fatigued lately i can barely function. My GP is unsure where to refer me. Just wondering if anyone has had similar symptoms and what specialists they may have seen. Thanks!

Can I ask a no-nose question about Sodium Hyaluronate. I have narrow angle glaucoma and have been using Latanoprost for 3 years at night. Unfortunately i also have had dry eyes for any many year. For past year or so I have been using an expensive dry eye drop called Hylo and it has as an ingredient what you mention above Sodium Hyaluronate. So I use it 3 times a day ... it says dont use if allergic to... but not bad, a little sore eyes but same with glaucoma drops; however, I just found a site stating Sodium Hyaluronate can INCREASE eye pressure. I almost fell off my chair - can ANYONE please tell me if the Sodium Hyaluronate in Hylo by Candor Vision is raising my eye pressure during day while Glaucoma drops are trying to lower it at night. I am sooo confused with all this its getting on my nerves and causing me additional stress. I am not taking many many prescription drugs and otc meds cos they cause raise in eye pressure - dont tell me I am happily using Hylo and causing same bad effect? THANK YOU!!!
