Acid Reflux or Not?

[Sweetescape]

Since the 2nd of August I have had the same symptoms. I injured my back and had a pain under my right shoulder blade, at the same time I also had pain swallowing large amounts of food.

After about a week botb symptoms stopped but I've been left with the feeling of a lump in my throat on one side of my throat and occasionally a tight feeling at the bottom of my throat. Along with a slight niggling pain under my shoulder when I exercise.

I've been to Dr 5 times (before this I'd never been to my Drs as an adult, I'm fit and well, not over weight and exercise regularly) I've also never had acid reflux.

Dr didn't think the symptoms were linked and prescribed me omeprazole and gaviscon.

This hasn't done anything for my symptoms, i then got refered to ENT who put a camera down my nose and have a 5min "consultation" said that my throat was fine and to keep taking it.

My Dr's don't want to take it any further until I've taken omeprazole for 2 months twice a day.

I have no chnage in symptoms after stopping drinking, eating spicey food and following the acid reflux advice.

I'm at a loss at what to do, does anyone think this is acid reflux or could i have injured my shoulder that's causing some nerve issues in my throat?

Have you tried seeing a physio? The injury could have caused some internal swelling or inflammation that's affected the muscles in your chest or upper back.

I've asked to see a physio and I'm waiting to be booked in at the moment so hopefully soon!

have you had any change in symptoms? I have also been suffering from significant reflux which makes me bloated and nauseous after eating even a small meal.
