For me choking involves dead tissue blocking the growth of a new leaf in the pstem.
I do not see any symptoms like that on your plant and it is pushing a new leaf.
Sometimes new leaves will just push a few inches then stop when conditions change.
Looks somewhat normal and like a few of my plants
Here are my choke symptoms and what it looks like in the stem
Choke
Another choke

cincinnana is right yours look like leaves pushing and will come out of it. Choking happens a lot more on plants stored dormant it seems. Some great pics of chokes.
