I have a problem that no doctor seems able to diagnose. I have neck pain while yawning/swallowing. It occurs on the left side of the Adam's Apple. It originally started with a pain not while yawning or swalling that was on the left side, sometimes on the right. Does anybody know what this could be? I found some time ago that if I click the cartilage of my Adam's Apple, pulling it to the right, that provided some relief. However I have since found that messing with the cartilage has caused an overall increase in pain.
