On in between my chin and the jaw articulation, i've always felt some stringy lumpy tissue that moves easily & doesn't hurt. it's not visible but palpable & ends under the jaw. concern? dr hasn't felt

Probably normal: If your Dr didn't feel anything abnormal it's likely ok. See if you feel the same tissue on the opposite side. If you do it's probably a normal body structure or a collection of fatty tissue(lipoma). If the area grows in size have it rechecked.
