cervical plate

cervical plate

Had cervical plate implanted in 2000. Over the years I've had different symptoms that have come on gone. Recently I've noticed a very uncomfortable feeling in my neck front and  back. Feels like throat being squeezed. I've had an xray done about 1 1/2 years ago that showed the vertebra above the plate is protruding into my esophagus, being caused, no doubt by the plate. This feeling is especially bad when I have indigestion and/or any kind of nasal problem, sinus,cold,etc making me feel very anxious. Questions:
1. anybody been through this?
2. is cervical plate reversal possible, can it be removed, if it had to be done.
3. Why is this feeling worse during my nasal conditions if the vertebra is protruding into my esophagus, I don't have trouble swallowing, yet anyway.
