I went to the GP on Friday as I've had this pain in my tongue for over 3 weeks now. It hurts to eat or drink anything at all; the pain is primarily located in the middle/back of my tongue. The GP described it as 'tender red tiny patches'. All of my observations were taken, and there are no signs of infection. I do suffer with silent reflux, but I've never had this pain before, and my reflux is controlled with medication. The tongue pain is absolutely agonising and paracetamol/nurofen only slightly takes the edge off, but not completely. My GP has referred me via the 2 week cancer referral system and I have an appointment on the 15th of October. I'm absolutely terrified at the thought of this being possibly cancer but I am also fed up of being in agonising pain every single day just doing the bare minimum of eating and drinking. I also get slight twinges of pain in my throat when I swallow and on the day I went to the GP my voice was hoarse but this has since gone away. Any comments welcome.
