Hello, everyone. My name is Ami, I'm a thirty-four year old female.

Anyway, onto the reason for this post:

I have a problem that's been happening off and on for a few years. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem and what's wrong or what it's called.

What happens is this:

You know when you do a full-body stretch...think of a cat...lol. Well, whenever I do that, even if I yawn or not, when I lean my head back it feels like the little bones in the front of my throat, right in the front center part where my "eve's apple" is, will lock into place and I can't move until I swallow and there is a popping sound and it feels like they unlock and I can swallow easier. It's very painful while it's happening as well and for a few minutes afterwards swallowing is uncomfortable. It does this every single time I stretch and lean my head back.

Thank you all so much in advance for any information!
