Painful lump on left side of trachea?
There s a hard mass on the left side, far back on the actual windpipe. I didn t think any lymph nodes were there. It hurts when I swallow, but that s the only symptom I ve got.

Well, the other structure that lives there is the thyroid.
Most of the time, a lump is a swollen lymph gland that is bigger as it does it's job at fighting infection.
Could be lots of things including a slight, temporary, swelling from eating something that scratched or bruised the area.
