Is it normal to feel the bones in the vertebrae with fingers if you push into side of neck or in the front of neck beside the esophagus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It’s normal to feel vertebrae along the back of the neck. At the front, you are probably feeling cartilage that protects the trachea.
