Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause of the hard movable lump on top of throat-
You seem to have-Lipoma / or a lymph node or / Thyroid Cyst.Your USG would resolve few issues .and Hence for further treatment I would advise you to Consult ER Surgeon who would treat it accordingly.
This advise is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.
Hence I would advise you to check with ER Surgeon.
So dont build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you.
Hope this would relieve your problem.
