two weeks ago, we attended a walk-in centre as he felt he had something stuck in his throat. sent us away with 'it's probably a viral infection' and keep an eye out etc. he then saw gp wednesday as it had lowered from his upper throat down to the hollow bit above his ribs. dr said he had probably scratched his throat eating food and to keep an eye out....anyway, tonight the pain has moved down lower to his left chest area and hurts when burping, swallowing and he has nausea. still feels something is stuck, so took him to the walk=in centre again. the pain is now on the opposite side to his heart and while breathing and chest sounds are ok, he feels pain when eating and drinking and feels this 'backs up' for a few seconnds before going down to his stomach. attended the walk-in centre again an hour ago and they have advised watchful waiting and contact of duty dr or emergency services in difficulty. feel bad as i don't know what do do. anyne have any words of advice or wisdom? could really do with some support as although he has been seenby health professionals, he is still my baby and i don't know what to do. help! mtia x

nah bobjugs! they just stomp all over me miowing and complaining that i'm not in the bed i should be!!!! although cats are supposed to be very independent and selfish, one of mine is actually having a cry because 'mummy' is not where should be. creatures of habit. son's still feeling a bit ropey, but better now mealtime has passed and is giving the normal crud he eats a miss. i expect to be woken in the middle of the night by son...and definately by the bloomin' cats x

my son has had this feeling before last week and again today. i took him to our local walk in centre last time and they didn't find anything and sent us on our way. this time it feels lower down and more painful - he is 16. any ideas what it may be? x

Stonekicker...is this the same 16year old?
