I have a sensitive bit on the front left side of my neck. It's hard to identify exactly where though. I can't feel any lumps (except for salivary glands, one on each side) and I've been pressing like mad. I've noticed it feels a bit more sensitive when I have my period. It's so hard to describe: it's like I'm just aware that something feels tight/sensitive. Sometimes when I press it can feel quite sore but not in a painful way, just a sensitive way. This is a terrible description I know.
A few months back I suffered with a sensation of a lump in my throat alongside this. Doctor checked me over, couldn't feel anything. They referred me for an endoscopy just to double check (mainly cos I was anxious about it). I'm still waiting! That feeling has disappeared though.
I'm pig ignorant when it comes to structures of the neck despite extensive googling. I know there are lots of muscles there - it does feel quite 'on the surface' rather than deep. Could it simply be a strained muscle/ligament underneath the skin? I have three young kids and am constantly picking them up, having one on my hip etc (and on the side where the feeling in my neck is). Does any of this ring a bell with anybody else? Thanks in advance :-)
