Current medical status: I have numerous exams including; X-rays endoscopies, rigid endoscopies, PH test, MRI and CT scans all these more then once. all was normal and no foreign body was found. I 've always had some pain since I swallowed the bone varying in intensity over the years but also had respite with no pain or hardly any, but over the last few weeks it getting worse and I don't know what to do. I'm now not feeling at all well, the pain is so bad and its making feel a little shaky and I not getting much sleep. I don't know where to go or what to do to get help, because as soon the consultants see the previous tests they say theirs nothing wrong, even my family say their can't be anything wrong. I've had tests on my stomach and all is fine no acid, and before I swallowed the bone I had no problems and never did have in my throat. oesophagus. The pain is on my left side and travels all around the Adam's Apple area, it still feels like their is something there and is very sore and tender if I press the area, especially one particualar place. please help


The symptoms you reported are not specific enough to give an exact diagnose.
However, some directions can be given. The condition might be caused by some nerve damage. The nerve damage can not be confirmed with the tests you have taken. You might want to see a neurologist about this condition.
Thyroid gland issues have to be considered, too, if the scans were not done recently.
