Has anyone heard of a dislocated hyoid bone?????
Please, please give me some direction to head in with this!!! My 17 yr. old son complained of pain in his neck a couple of months after he flipped over a car. he had knee injuries as well. the orthopedic took an xray of his neck and said he was ok.
About 10 months later my son complained that while at his bus stop something popped in his throat and he couldn't breath for a minute and was forced to place pressure on it to pop it back in. I found it very odd and kind of brushed it off and said you're ok now so. Then a couple of months later it happened again. His pediatrician sent us to an Endoconologist. He had no answer and told us to see an ENT. We saw the ENT, he stuck a scope up through his nose and down to the throat and said he saw nothing. He sent him for a cat scan, which came back negative, so he brushed it off. We went to another ENT who also saw nothing and brushed it off as well.
This past week my son had his 3rd popping incident and this time the condition became cronic. Every time he turns his head this thing pops in his throat and it is very painful and scarry. I rushed him in to the 2nd ENT. This time the Dr, witnessed the popping for himself. He believes the hyoid bone is dislocating and rubbing into the cartilige of the thyroid.
We are waiting on an auth. for an MRI. THE PROBLEM IS AND QUESTION:
THE ENT SAID HE NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE AND SAID HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT????
IN THE MEANTIME HE INSTRUCTED MY SON TO WEAR A NECKBRACE TO STOP HIM FROM TURNING HIS NECK!!!
DOES ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THIS AREA???

My symptoms are all the same the only thing different is I did break my hyoid bone in a car accident when my neck hit the steering wheel the ent said what was happening was the hyoid bone was catching on the larynx.
I have had this happen a few times a year since the late 90s, the first time it happened was the worst as I had no experience on how to pop it back in place. I ended up not being able to swallow at all until it was back as it felt like a skewer poking my throat if I did. I just drooled until it went back in.
Nowadays if it happens I just stretch my head back and yawn, turn my head side to side and massage it back in place. I had never bothered to google this before so thanks to all the folks who posted their comments so perhaps the medical community will be more aware of this condition.

Hi All
Like everyone here i am so glad i found this thread
I have been suffering with the sensation of a lump in my throat and it feels like something is pushing into my throat from the right .inside . .
I have had quite a few cameras up my nose and down my throat.
At first i was told all is ok, then that my right tonsil was inflamed and had to be removed. Had afew cameras after that to be told i had swollen glands
Gradually this feeling has got worse so i did some investigating and found that it is my Thyroid bone or cartillage
I am going to go back and see the consultant with all your info and see where it gets me .
I can actually put my finger down inside my mouth and feel the thyroid cartilage has moved forward. i also now have a lot of small lumps on the back of my tounge were it drops down the throat
Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

I also have had this problem for over ten years.
I do not believe it was in part due to an accident related to my throat.
I saw a enco..endo... throat specialist/plastic surgeon dude who just quickly stuck a camera in my nose and down my throat and similarly told me there was nothing out of order, and that my cartiledge was just large and my adam's apple is large (it is pretty big) and that sometimes when I yawn, the two get stuck together and I need to pop it out of place using my finger or something... which is painful. So... try not to yawn? Yeah... thanks for the ****** advice doc.
Anyhow, now I am noticing that my adams apple itself and the area underneath it where my throat turns into my chest are very very sensitive to the touch, and after having taken a job at a call center where I talk all day I definitely notice a lot more soreness in general on the throat. It's only about a 1 out of ten on the pain scale when I touch my neck, but I would love to have a resolution to this issue at some point in my life and hopefully not watch it worsen over the years or potentially die from it. If anyone has any advice on how I should proceed please do not hesitate to email me at polo.***@**** as I would appreciate the effort extremely.
