I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your Quertle symptoms are quite suggestive of a possible nerve impingement when they come out of the spinal cord through the vertebral column. I feel it can be said that this would explain the cause of all your symptoms. However, pain in swallowing cannot be really attributed to it. Short of an examination, I would suggest an MRI of the brain and screen of spine to be sure. I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned aboveif any other, so I can be of help further.
