Pain in the throat

I'm experiencing a pain in my throat that's fairly intense. It feels like a lump in the throat only "bigger". Has anyone experienced that? If so, what do you take to eleviate the discomfort? Is this all part of what SDer's experience?

Thanks,
Peace2u

I've had a similar pain and whenever I swallowed I was in a great deal of pain. I still have the sensation of a lump in my throat and now feel that "lump" even when I'm not swallowing. I can eat fine and drink fine, nothing gets stuck but swallowing saliva then I hurt.
I can't say I do anything in particular to relieve the pain. Sometimes I would rub my throat and that would help. Sometimes a warm cloth wrapped around my throat helps. I have found wearing a scarf all the time does help me more than anything else. I also have cervical dystonia and wear a neck brace when I'm outside but at home I'm much more comfortable with the feeling of the lump in my throat with a warm scarf aruond my neck. I think the light pressure of the scarf on the area where the "lump" is helps me.
I'n not sure if this is an SD thing, for me it could be a combination of SD and CD.
