Ok....here we go. Went to get the CAT Scan w & w/o contrast results. The report reads as follows:
Pre vertabral & para pharyngeal soft tissues are normal. The epiglottis, aryepiglottis folds, pyriform sinuses, true and false cords are unremarkable. No evidence of any mass. Parotid and submandibular salivary glands are symetrical without evidence of mass. Vascular structures are unremarkable. No evidence of lymphadenopathy. Thyroid is not enlarged and unremarkable. Impression: Normal CT with and without contrast.
About 2 hours after picking the disk and report up at the Imaging center the ENT's office called to tell me / confirm that everything is normal.
Also had 2nd visit with the oral surgeon this morning. He can not see or feel anything abnormal and asked to see the CT results once I had them to confirm that there is nothing there.
Ive also had 4 or 5 direct and indirect laryngoscopy procedures, nasal endoscopys, FEES test, an upper GI / endoscopy w/ biopsy and tons of exams by GP's / ENT / Gastro / General Dentist & Oral Surgeon.
Im relieved. Could this all be from nerves/ stress or glossopharyngeal neuralgia? Next step: neurologist
