Hi Dr. Rynne. I have a feeling in my throat that something is pushing on it right in the 'soft' spot at my neck where my neck ends and chest area begins. I had this previously and they found my C5/6 was bulging and causing stenosis which required surgery. Had the surgery and been doing well. This started with the feeling of a piece of hair in my throat (previous did not start this way). My GP has cultured my throat and I'm waiting for results. It is harder to swallow with this feeling.
