Hi all,
My name is martin, I am 21 years of age, for as long as I can remember I have always had a “Post Nasal Drip” I always have to spit saliva, Deep breath in via nose and clear my throat to clear the build up of mucus. It is something that gets worse when I am ill. I have seen my GP and had some tests over the years and I get told its nothing, try a nasal spray, it seems the spray only makes things worse, seems to produce more mucus and in turn I spit more. I suffer from mouth Ulcers (may have nothing to do with things) and at times I can have 3 – 5 very angry ulcers in my mouth.
On the right of my face, under my chin it is very tender and painful to touch, a dull aching pain constantly. I “think” it may be my Sublingual gland or maybe Submandibular gland (can’t be anything else really, lol) either way this happens a few times a month and may last up to a week. Pain is bearable but far from comfortable.
Now and again I get a pain that is so unbearable it makes me sweat, dizzy and sometimes vomit, it’s almost as if my gland is being crushed, I can not pin point what area of my glands is giving me this pain, I cannot move my tongue, swallow, turn my head, talk... anything that involves my head / neck moving as this will increase the pain. I got myself into A&E last time it happened but after my 2 hours wait I managed to sort it out, I held my neck and as if I were strangling myself, gripped it hard and my throat sort of “Clicked” and the pain was gone. The time before that I leant forward on a chair to get up and for whatever reason (maybe the stretch) the same thing happened, I had to lay down and not move or swallow, I put my hands by my side lay flat and lifted my head (as if I were doing a sit up) and once again I managed to click my neck and the pain eased off, I have to make it worse to make it go. I have no idea what this is but I have to find out, it’s unbearable. It has happened 5 times in 4 years, once I woke up with it, luckily I only twisted my head and it was gone.
Please! Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks
Regards
Martin Cook

IT sounds like you are having probleing with a vertibrae in your neck area. I don't know about your medical system in the UK, but if I were you, I would get in to be seen by a good spinal doc that can assess what is going on. It sounds like you have something that is out of alignment, or that has worn down enough that it is slipping out of it's place, and you are then snapping it back into order. You need to have films done and be seen by someone who can find out what is wrong.
Good luck.
Good luck.
