Neck: If you have noticed this for a year and they are lymphnodes unless you have noticed a change in size I do not think it is a problem. I actually think you are feeling your hyoid bone.

Have MD/DO feel them: Hard to say exactly what you're feeling. It's probably slightly more comforting that whatever you are feeling is on both sides of the neck. In the region where i'm imagining you may be feeling something hard, there is the thyroid cartilage which is easy to feel (and even see in men; the adam's apple). Best advice i can give is to have a doctor palpate or touch that area to be sure of what it is.
