Only felt when swallowing. Feels like a lump pressing against a cord, like a rock strumming against a guitar string, it falls back towards the end of swallowing. I can lean my head to the right and have zero trouble swallowing but lean left and I feel it, there is no pain. I also have cervical spinal stenosis. Your thoughts?
