Hi,
I have this issue too - on my left side, had it since around March this year.
I have been to docs 3 times and ENT for a larygoscopy. The ENT doc was very confident in his assessment, stating that the upper part of my oesophagus is inflamed and this is rubbing against adjacent structures when swallowing.
I have been on PPIs to stop acid reflux (which is apparently causing the inflammation) for around 6 weeks with no real effect unfortunately, but it is potentially self-fulfilling in that the more clicking/grinding that happens, the more inflamed it gets.
There is an option for surgery to trim the offending cartilage I believe, which could be a solution. I have an ultrasound in 3 weeks also - a little worried that I was referred for that but guess it will provide more answers and hopefully negate any more serious concerns.
Hope you get sorted
