    It’s a bolus – a ball-shaped mass of liquid – moving down the throat via peristalsis. The muscles just happened to have formed the liquid into a sphere, liquids cannot be compressed, so the peristaltic muscles are trying to squeeze something that can’t be squeezed. The muscles don’t know that, squeeze anyway, and that pain is the result.
