I've had a sensation of a lump in my
throat for some time (about more than 3
weeks) that continually bothered me, and I
initially thought it'd go away. It didn't
and I tried checking later on by putting
my finger down my throat to check, and
didn't find anything. Well it's still
bothering me and today I put my finger
down my throat as far as possible, and I
felt something like two small bumps just
beside each other (like a "UU", which the
shape how it feels like as I typed.)
Now I haven't had difficulty swallowing (I
even tested this by swallowing pieces of
bread) but I dunno what to think.
I'm 24 years old and sometimes my parents
have called me a hypochondriac since long
ago, so I don't want to rush to
judgement. Also, I have had problems with
acid reflux for years (in waves, usually
before I go and finally take prilosec) I
haven't yet talked to the doctor, since
I've lapsed in payments to my individual
insurance carrier (had to be now
)

I think those are supposed to be there,
and you're simply "aware" of them at the
moment. You could always have a doc look
down your throat and say "yep, those are
tonsils and secondry glands".

Well they seem to stick out from the upper
esophagus pipe.

it is nearly impossible to accuratly
describe something over the net. I can say
all day long "yes I have those too" but
only a doctor can diagnose you or say
"those are just cartilage!"
