What Causes A Tender Feeling And Pains In The Adams Apple?
My neck is tender on the right side of my adams apple, only when I touch it. Almost feels like it is right where you would take your pulse, no sharp pains and it doesn t hurt to swallow. It does hurt when I lift my chin/head up. I have hypothyroid disease. Should I see a doctor....what is this?
