Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Bone?: It is possible, particularly if you have been eating meat, to have a small bone stuck in the back of your throat. If it feels as though something is lodged there, I would seek out medical attention in the emergency room immediately. This area can be visualized if necessary, by direct vision, endoscopy, or x-ray. Good luck.
