Common Questions and Answers about Large thyroid in neck

From what I have read, when it moves up and down when swallowing, it is on the thyroid because the thyroid moves when you swallow. My fairly large nodule moves when I swallow too. I have had ultrasound and biopsy - still awaiting results. Check it out with someone else. You need an ultrasound just to make sure.Good Luck.
so i've been experiencing some rather odd pain in the front/right side of the neck... it rather feels like somone is pushing on my throat with extreme force from the outside... and i was just curious if anything could be causing this having to deal with my thyroid? the pain comes and goes, lasting up to 5 minutes at a time. it makes me a little bit light headed and is just really annoying. when it started i'd get the sudden pain maybe once a day...
I have had some possible effects like neck and shoulder pain, ear pain (could be from this or not), some weird feelings swallowing and a tiny struggle in swallowing with large vitamin pills and a general tightness across my front neck/throat area.
I see the Dr. next week but I the ultrasound report is definitely "relaxed" in the way it was written - indicated non worrisome nodules, all either spongiform or cystic with one concentration of coarse macrocalcifications.
Thyroid cancer is generally one of the least aggressive cancers and survival rates for 40 year old men is basically 100%.
It took some time before I discoverd that if I moved my lower jaw and tongue, that eventually I could again swollow- this feels like my muscles in the throat will not respond- I was checked by 3 doctors who did not find anything, and I think did not believe me- 18 months later, I chose to go to a new doctor for my diabetes, and right away found a large nodule on the left side of the thyroid- after tests it proved to be 1.
My thyroid has stopped functioning. Uptake only in the large nodule on the left side. Right side did not take up any at all. T3 adn T4 are normal, immuno assays normal and TSH is suppressed. I have four nodules:
1 - Very large, 6x4x4.4 cm and it's hot keeping my thyroid going
2 - Cold nodule, photepenic, inhomogeneous distribution, etc.....
I had a large bone spur filed down during a surgery to remove my thyroid last Feb. they say it was in the interor of my spine. Thyroid was removed and checked and there was cancer in it. I'm still having the feeling that there is a lump in my throat when I swallow,it doesn't keep me from swallowing its just the feeling that there is something there.
Or could this felling in my throat have something to do with a disc in my neck. I know I have trouble with C-5 and C-6 and I do have numbness and popping or cracking and a fluid like sensation with pain in left shoulder and sometimes mid way down the arm. I am tired of doctors telling me they don't know.I hope someone knows or can point me in the right direction. Thank you soo; much for your time.
ve just came back from holiday and realised I had a large lump on my right side of my neck, I started to feel unwell, tired and head and neck banging and decided to go to doctors thinking I had a goiter. Doctor did blood tests and by the end of the week the doctor said my test was ok and that he thought it was a tumor and was fast tracking me an appointment with a consultant.
I have tonsillitis. Also have a lump in front of neck on right side that has been there for 2 and a half months and have the sensation like something is stuck in my throat and a ticking sensation as well as thyroid nodules. My Ent specialist said it just a deep tonsil and looked at my throat and saw a red lump. I am freaking out I hope it is not anything serious.
Your asking on the thyroid board, goiters (an enlarged thyroid) large enough to be obviously visible are not very common, but do exist. Do you have a much larger / lumpy Adams apple area than in the past?
Do you have a known thyroid disorder, or symptoms (goggle if needed).?
Could you be feeling a tight muscle in this area? Muscles with knotted fibers can feel "crunchy" when tension subsides, kind of like scare tissue - not necessarily permanent though.
Your surgery in 12/09 included removal of nodes in the "lateral neck" - all the way to level 5. This increases the risk of recurrent PTC in the lateral neck (would need to look closely with ultrasound including all neck levels (1-6)).
Not sure what is meant by large node in front of shoulder below collar bone (in terms of anatomic location) - that could be axillary (arm-pit) or a lower level 4/5b node. If you can feel it, it can be evaluated with ultrasound and possible FNA.
I had a a large tumor taken out in may07, it was benige, but now there is something going on with my neck again, could it be another tumor on the right thyroid, blood work has come back with high numbers again, feel really bad.
help!

Ask for this bloodwork: TSH, FT4, FT3 and the antibodies tests to see if an auto-immune thryoid disease is causing this. The antibodies tests are TGab and TPOab. You will need both antibodies tested, not just one.
Your doctor should be concerned about this. If you test positive for antibodies, you could feel better with thryoid hormone drugs.
Also, you should get a thyroid ultrasound. You don't have to have thyroid disease in the family to get thyroid disease. Teens do sometimes get it.
already read it to me and it said there is no mass or swelling of the thyroid. I can feel a large lump directly under my chin, but on my throat in the center. None of the drs. felt it though, so maybe they just assumed thyroid. But again I have had numerous symptoms for the past year that I have correlated to a thyroid issue, and this all began when I went off my Birth Control pills. My THS was 4.19 in june 09 and 4.51 in Dec. 09.
