I feel like a hypochondriac but need some advice or reassurance. I posted last year about fears over throat pain and the synopsis of that was I was:
- the MRI in August I had for tinnitus showed nothing on toward,
- Gastroscopy in September showed nothing apart from some scarring due to hiatus stomach hernia. Given omeprazol to counter stomach acid and was happy in a way that this could explain the throat pain.
in January I went back to the doctors still complaining of a sore throat and despite antibiotics the discomfort was still apparent. I was then forwarded onto ENT and have a phone appointment for the end of April.
The trouble is things have got much worse since I saw the doctor.
Throat pain is worse and happening every day. Swallowing I feel like there's something there. Pain in both ears and tongue is sore too. Glands feel crampy and tender.
my worry is it's tongue cancer given the symptoms and if it is, the fact that this has been going on for so long concerns me that it will have progressed way beyond early stage.
Has anyone experienced similar symptoms for this long?
