A member asked:

Possible reasons for sensory loss all over front of neck and throat? also, shooting pain up side of neck?

Interesting!: Involvement of both sides of anterior neck and throat without other areas of sensory or pain involvement, suggests a non-neurologic cause. Things such as hives, thyroid inflammation, severe lymph node swelling, laryngitis are suggested. These things can also cause localized pain.

Mutliple: Could be a neuralgia, and i would see a neurologist about it quickly. It could be an early stroke.
