Can u pull a throat muscle?

[Earlianam]

Okay, so I got diagnosed with Allergies in  October, and after 3 sinus infections 2 eye infections and the flu, the only other lingering thing I had going on was this tightness in my throat.  So my allergist sent me to an ENT becasue I was also experiencing persistent hoarseness which I guess is not common in allergy patients.  Well the ENT just gave me nexium and said my throat was inflammed due to acid reflux. However, I relized today that my whole neck and throat area hurts after I eat.  I try not to eat fast so I'm thinking that I pulled a muscle in my neck as....I have also been singing since Oct (took a month break).  However, when I sing I'm not in pain...but like talking and eating...makes my throat area more sore throughout the day which tells me that I am at least singing from the right place.  Anywho, I had to put an ice pack on it last night. Is a pulled thorat muscle possible with someone who has acid reflux and sings? Any ideas?

It is possible to pull the muscle. I had a very bad cough and pulled my throat muscles as a result. Since it is difficult to rest the muscle it takes longer than normal to heal. I hope you feel better soon.

my friend Frank pulled a muscle in his throat. I have never heard of that and thought he was making it up. I am glad there is a forum where he can ask questions and get the support he needs.  Frank said he pulled the muscle Yawning,  Sounds like a lie.... what type of dofus does that?  he was probably having a hot dog eating race with his freind Sparky. Anyway, what treatments have you found work for a pulled throat muscle? ice cream? accupuncture? movie night?

hey just found this and it sounded a bit similar to what am experienceing now. for a while now ive been feelin pain under my jaw and throat and remember that the previous night well i was laughin there was big shoot of pain up the sides of my neck that went away and then a couple of nights later i had pain in my throat and jaw. i also found that my the gland on my left side (of my neck) is a bit swollen it hasnt gotten bigger int he past 24 hours and i can move it if i want and doesnt hurt to move but i can feel it when i think about. the pain wasnt awful but more annoying sort of unavoidable.  do you think that i could have pulled my throat muscle? if you have any answers that will be great am a bit of a werido when it comes to pain i cant figure out. oh and am 19 if that means anything lol.

oh and also i suffer from aniexty and i tend to grind my teeth when am panicing which i think has been the cause of pain in my jaw under my ear. could this be a reason for the other pain?

Well... the muscle that I pulled is located between my collar bone and the bottom of my neck (throat). I pulled the muscle trying to open my mouth to bite a Hot Dog. It's weird because as the day goes on my muscle in my throat becomes weaker which makes it harder to swallow food. I 've had this for around three weeks and it doess't  seem to be going away. Not sure what to do, I'll probably go see a doctor.

recently i pulled the muscles in my throat from hyperventilating, and is wondering if anyone knows anything that can help. It's been getting worse to were i can not eat

I am experiencing the same type of thing. a dull pain under my jaw and in my neck on the left side. I am also a singer and possibly have strained something, and I also grind my teeth at night. I am also thinking that my awful bed and pillow may have something to do with it, it seems i am always cranking my neck around in weird ways. it feels to me like a strained muscle in the throat and not actually on the interior of the throat (like an infection or something similar). could possibly be related to allergies maybe? if anyone has any thoughts please share I am trying to narrow down what this is so I can make some changes to correct it.
