cannot take the picture of the area as it is hidden behind the uvula and is felt when touched by a finger on the upper part of the throat

Brief Answer:
Orthopedic attention required

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your clarification. I have checked the attached report. There are a few vertebral issues that call for action and I would insist on visiting an orthopedician as well as a physical therapist. They can carefully consider the case and design interventions accordingly. On primary evaluation the orthopedician would be able to suggest if there seems to be an association with the lump you mention. If he does not find an association it would be worthwhile to visit an ENT specialist to evaluate the matter further.
