Hi, i'm 18 years old and maybe two months
ago I started feeling like there is
something inside my neck. You can't
actually feel it by touching my neck but I
feel that it's there. It went away the
first time but has recently returned.
It seems that it's triggered when I smoke
a lot, and then it becomes inflamed or
something. I also have had a mouth
sore for as long as i've had that feeling
in my neck. The doctor said it
appears to be a canker sore and has made
an appointment for a throat specialist for
me. The area where I feel the
inflamattion is near my adams apple.
Can anyone tell me what this is?

Could Be a Polyp? Posted: 08-29-06 13:15pm
First........Throw those damned cigarettes
away while you are still young and your
body can begin to repair the damage they
have caused. That was the hardest thing I
ever did in my life......Been 16 years
this past january. The place you feel in
your neck, could very well be a sort of
polyp. My uncle smokes one right after
the other and over the years has had
several of these removed. He also had
canker sores in his mouth. Not sure if
this is related to smoking, but being a
mom.....I just felt that need to try to
say something.....I do hope your physican
clears this up. I also hope you take over
your life and control the cigarettes...Not
allow them to control you.....Good luck
