Thanks for the encouragement. The ENT felt my neck area and stuck the camera down my nose to check everything out and said he didn't see anything concerning. He showed me the video and I didn't even see anything that could be causing the lump feeling. I'm starting to think the ear pain is from opening my mouth and sticking my tongue out as far as possible 20 times a day. I've always had a swooshing and popping in that side of my jaw. Going to stop poking and prodding my neck and mouth for a few days and see how it feels. Thanks again.
