It's been over 5 months now with no relief. I also have neck pain with the strangling feeling.
I've seen a Gastro and had a barium swallow, ENT and had a Laryngoscopy. Neither resulted in anything.
I went to a different primary care Dr who diagnosed
MuscularSkeletal issue and referred me to a physical therapist along with muscle relaxers.
PT gave me temporary relief that only lasted a few hours after the appointment.
I then was referred to a physiatrist who ordered an MRI. After that horrific experience, the physiatrist said she didn't see anything on the MRI that would cause all of my symptoms, although I do have bulging discs and narrowing at the joints.
She tried to refer me to a nuerologist and I refused.
I've since had a steroid injection to relieve inflammation caused by possible pinched nerve.
I'm still in pain, have numbness down my right arm and feel I'm wearing a cement collar around my neck or being strangled.
I don't think this will ever end.
