Blynn,
I too have the lump in the throat feeling sometimes. Mine happens mostly at night, the pain wakes me up out of my sleep and it feels like there is a golf ball lodged in my throat when I try to swallow. At first, I thought I was about to get sick, as a sore throat was a sure sign of a cold or flu to come. I’d wake up with that sore throat for weeks at a time but never got sick. It comes and goes, and is pretty annoying. I also feel like I don’t want anything touching my neck, I would never wear a shirt buttoned all the way to the neck, or a short lengthed necklace. I’ve read some other responses to your post and I just have to wonder, it sounds like a psychological thing for all of us, the aftermath of having experienced swollen necks, but at least we’re not alone!
