Common Questions and Answers about Lump in neck moves when swallowing

lump

Avatar n tn From what I have read, when it moves up and down when swallowing, it is on the thyroid because the thyroid moves when you swallow. My fairly large nodule moves when I swallow too. I have had ultrasound and biopsy - still awaiting results. Check it out with someone else. You need an ultrasound just to make sure.Good Luck.
Avatar n tn I noticed this weekend a big lump in neck between adams apple and base of neck; the lump moves when i swallow - went to er and it said swollen cartilage - i'm not comfortable with this diagnosis. Anyone else experienced this? thanks.
Avatar m tn Im not totally sure that I even have this or that this is what the lump is that im feeling in my neck but it seems like the correct location. I have read that along with swallowing the lump should up and down. My small lump moves as well with swallowing except it seems to move from side to side. Does this mean that its something different? Does it not matter the direction of the movement? Either way I found this lump almost 8 months ago and it doesnt seem to have grown. Its pea size.
Avatar f tn I have a lump on left side of neck size of a golf ball. Location is thyroid possibly. Above clavicle just left of windpipe area. moves with swallowing. Other possible symptoms include fatigue, pressure on left side when swallowing, headaches, slight cough at night not constant. Night sweats which soak my clothes and sheets.
Avatar n tn If you are having problems with acid reflux, the sensation could be globus. It's a 'feeling' of something in the throat - like a lump. If this is the reason, you need to work with your doc to try to bring the reflux under control.
Avatar f tn s pretty noticeable when I tilt my head back and I feel it when I touch my neck. It also feels uncomfortable when I touch it. Could this be a goiter/enlarged thyroid? I have thyroid antibodies (Tg and TPO) and a history of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. I have also been told that I have Hashimoto's but I'm not on any thyroid medication. My last thyroid test was done 3 months ago and it came back normal (TSH:1.7, FT4:1.2) after several months of being hypothyroid (TSH:3.8+, FT4:1-).

Avatar f tn I'm a 16 year old female. I have what feels to be a 3 in. lump under the muscle of the right side of my neck that's been present for 2 years. It's in the middle of the side of my neck and slowly growing to the front of my neck. Doctors did an ultrasound plus blood work and saw nothing abnormal and said it's just me growing. There's no pain but it's uncomfortable and causes pressure on the inside my neck. Do you think it is from growing or something else?

Avatar f tn I recently went to doctor because this painless lump in my neck showed up, it feels quite large and is visible to my friends. I thought it was a swollen lymph node so ignored it for 2-3 weeks. it only causes discomfort when i swallow . My dr fellt my neck and said my gland was enlarged and maybe felt a nodule. and ordered tsh and t4, both normal. tsh (1.64) and t4 (1.13).
Avatar n tn Hi I need some help . I have a lump on my left side of my shoulder between my neck and shoulder and it's not to big or small and it's under my skin and moves around. Is it something to be worried about ?
Avatar n tn On a side note, the past few weeks (starting a 2 weeks before noticing this back lump) I have had a sore area in my throat (not a sore throat!, no pain swallowing, but an irregular feeling like a lump or abrasion) WITH what seemed to be salivary gland pain, two (first tender, then hard) lymph glands in neck, and pain/throb in armpit, groin, and femoral region (no noticed lumps except swollen pain in groin while on Augmentin) and ear pain.
Avatar f tn then all of a sudden i got this feeling of a lump when i swallow,its not all the time its comes and goes. when i burb the lump feels worse. then settles down. sometimes i feel i have alot of air or wind in my upper stomach. i have been taking gavison or rennies.
Avatar n tn It has been reoccuring often along with twingy pains up both sides of my neck. I have no problem swallowing but now I feel twingy pains in my upper chest and upper back. Sometimes I have a burning sensation in my throat as well. I do take prevacid for acid reflux/heartburn. What do you think might be going on? Do you think these are separate issues - the ear lobe infection and the lump sensation?
Avatar f tn I have a swollen lump on the left side of the my throat. A sonogram was done and the findings was a 2 x 1 centimeter nodule along the aspect of the left lobe, possibly extrathyroidal. The technician stated that a CT neck with contrast maybe useful to further characterize. Do I really need to have all these tests done? I keep paying for $30.00 co-pays just to tell me I need another test making more money for him as well. Now he just ordered a CT scan of my neck.
Avatar f tn I got a big lump in my throat yesterday when I was trying to swallow. It felt like I was swallowing a golf ball. I thought I was going to choke, but fortunately managed to get it down. Then my chest started to cramp up! Today I've been getting this cramp in the side of my neck when I swallow. No fun!
Avatar n tn I was left with a lump in my throat and problems swallowing. The antibiotics cleared up the infection but the problem swallowing would still be there. It was bad most days with the occasional good day. No problem swallowing when drinking water... Could eat OK but food did get stuck.. Based on the information in this Website. I told my Doctor I thought I had acid coming up from my stomach.
Avatar f tn I have a lump on my adams apple- right in the cup of the neck. It was tender the other day it was red and irritated and a co-worker noticed it is why I know of it but now it is noticeable. Doesn't hurt when I swallow but you can see it going up and down. It was softer the other day but now seem firm now. Any clue what it could be?
Avatar m tn About 6 months ago I felt a small lump in the left side of my neck, I believe it is located by or is the Suboccipital lymph node. It's no bigger then 1cm and you can ALMOST not feel it when touching from the outside, but definitely is there and feels very uncomfortable for me as I can most definitely feel it inside the neck muscle.
Avatar m tn On the 27th I had swollen lymph nodes in my neck. I slowly got sicker and for 2-3 days had minimal energy/appetite and a bad neck pain + pretty bad headache. Went away on its own after a while. Now the throat/mouth problems started mildy at the beginning but by new years eve I had issues swallowing properly (it felt "bumpy" to swallow). That problem resolved slowly and then the pain began.
Avatar n tn I now am experiencing a feeling of a lump in my throat when I swallow and the front of my neck seems swollen or enlarged. It is very difficult to swallow if my head is even slightly titled up. What could be causing this?
805647 tn?1238079141 Hi, I have a nodule in the front of my neck under my adams apple, the ultrasound suspected this to be a thyroglossal duct cyst but my ENT says otherwise and says it is a thryoid nodule, all fnbiopsy results ok although the fnb itself was very painful as they could not get what they needed and had to do another and another..............My doctor says because the nodule is in the front and not on the right or left side I should have a full thyroidectomy.
