a Problem That I've Been Having For a While Posted: 10-17-06 14:11pm
Hi i'm new to this forum and i'm happy to
be a part of this community. I have a
question about a problem that has been
somewhat bothersome, and I believe it
might be related to weight-training but I
would still like to have it double
checked. Well I am 18 years of age and I
was off weight-training for a few months
and got back to it about 3 months ago.
I'm basically a bodybuilder and i'm
building up my body to join my college
swim team. Anyways I have a personal
trainer whom I trust and he helps me
constantly with my form to make sure that
it is correct when i'm working out. Well
about a month and a half ago i've had a
problem relating to my throat. I get a
sharp pain everytime when I brush my teeth
and gurgle water and spit it back out.
What happens is when I spit the water back
out, and swallow, the pain begins around
my throat pipe and travels down and fades
away. Sometimes I think the pain might be
also located on my neck muscles the
sternocleomescodites (excuse the
mispelling) I have been to my doctor and
he prescribed me z-pack and asked me to
take it 5 day in a row: 2 the first day,
and 1 for every of the 3 days that
remaind. I've taken those pills according
to the instruction from my doctor however
the pain did not go away. Infact last
night when I brushed my teeth the pain
seemed to have somewhat worsened. My
doctor asked me to comeback to him in
november and if the pain still persists
then he will assign me to a throat
specialist. He also assures me that it is
not a tumor of any kind or cancer. So
after this long description my question is
basically why is it am I having these
pains? Is it the fact that i've been
working out(which I doubt so) or is it
something else? If it helps any the tooth
paste that I have been using contains a
lot of baking soda but the pain as far as
I remember started 2 weeks before I
started using that tooth paste but the
pain did worsen after I started using it.
I'm quite worried that it is not something
very serious and I would love to have an
answer or a atleast a clue as to what it
might be
