975514 tn?1324997938 Is it possible to have a goiter you cannot detect? I am having the unfortunate situation of having to self diagnose. I have been to dozens of doctors, have Grave's and Hashi's in my family- and have lots of health problems. Last year I had a shoulder surgery that has left me in more pain. I am wondering now if I may have a thyroid problem, undetected. I have posted a few times within the past couple of days. I finally have an endo appt. scheduled.
Avatar m tn In Aug 07 I was rear ended by a truck. Since day one I had severe neck and shoulder pain...about a month and half later they found a goiter that showed up in my mri. Now a little over a year later I have all kinds of nodules with the goiter. Can these nodules form from whiplash injury or is this just a coincidence? I still have not been able to return to work due to neck, shoulder and right arm pain.
Avatar f tn could the nodules be in any way related to ear neck shoulder pain????? I forgot to mention the nodules to the GP last week ...she looked at my ear bc of my complaint and said it looked fine. Today they will probably call to tell me my blood tests where normal...I guess I will mention to the receptionist about the neck and ear pain and nodules... My eye doc wanted me to call him about glucose test to make sure this wasn't the cause of the change. A1c was normal.
Avatar f tn I should be called "feellikegreatgrandpappy" I'm 62 going on 90! I started with the neck and back in my early thirties. Also had hashimoto's- and had half my thyroid removed, the other half must have removed itself because it's no longer there!
Avatar n tn I also have been suffering with shoulder and neck pain, and even upper back. I was wondering if the two could be related. I was tested for hormonal problems, thyroid problems, myalgias, and anything else they routinely test for when they take your blood. I was given a low dose of antiepressant to help me sleep at night so I am not awakened with the pain. This helps at night, but I am getting weary of the constant ache.
Avatar f tn Could on going neck injury/pain from holding phone between head and shoulder at work for almost five years and stress have any effect on your thyroid ?
Avatar n tn I am having severe left shoulder pain. It is so bad that I cry daily and with 4 children which I had natural, I feel that I have a high tolerance to pain. My left arm and my neck up to the jawbone goes numb at times. The shoulder pain never goes away. I keep ice on it a lot plus take pain medicine and a muscle relaxer but nothing helps. I have tried patches, creams, massage, etc. A little History: I have not done anything to hurt it.
Avatar m tn I have been having pain for at least 4 years in my neck and shoulder. The pain in my neck and shoulder got worse after I got off all pain killers that I had been on for knee pain. It was a struggle with the pain meds, and ultimately I got help and free of them. When I finally went to a 2nd surgeon to diagnose the shoulder and neck pain, he said I have a SLAP lesion and wants to do surgery.
Avatar f tn Over the weekend, symptoms have not improved and neck pain beginning to return, nausea and a head pressure mainly in right ear. Should I seek another opinion from an ENT or Endo or just let it go?
Avatar f tn Not taking any meds for PCOs Please note that the pain is in my upper back, shoulder, neck, arm, elbow and chest. And the shifts; sometimes it is on the right side and other times it is on the left.
Avatar f tn YES, I have had horrible stiff shoulder and neck pain. This all started about a year before I was diagnosed as hypothyroid. I thought it was my jazzercise doing it. But it was so bad that I could not sit up from a lying down position without moaning in pain. My shoulder was hard as a rock and my whole trapezius muscles was in spasms. This also happens more around my period.
Avatar n tn Sinus issues and stress can both cause pain in the back of the neck into the upper shoulder area. I would try some moist heat on the back of your neck. Thyroid nodules do not affect your neck in the back.....only in the front. I would not worry too much about the biopsy...I know it is easier said than done, but thyroid cancer is not the only cause of nodules.....hashimotos causes nodules as well. Good luck and let us know what you find out.
1200200 tn?1265381692 I looked like I was 5 months pregnant. I had right shoulder pain and had major gas. Are you in a huge amount of pain? I had my gall bladder removed. If you are in major pain don't wait for the results from the doctor. Go to the ER if you have to. Especially if you start getting a fever. I am not trying to scare you but this is something that you don't want to mess with. I hope I helped.
Avatar f tn high blood pressure, runs in my family (which I am currently taking medication for), depression, anxiety, and chronic neck and shoulder pain (I have been in treatment with a physiatrist for 3-years now). Medications used to treat shoulder, neck, and arm pain include: gabapentin, lyrica, Cymbalta, tramadol, Norco 10/325, steroid injections, and physical therapy (with no positive results).
Avatar f tn Don't know, but celiac disease can cause thyroid issues. I have celiac and have Hashimotot's thyroiditis. It caused a nodule near / on my Adams' apple. The doc did a FNA (fine needle aspiration) on it to determine the status. Pretty easy, he just stuck a small needle in the mass and send the sample for testing. No pain at all..
Avatar f tn My thyroid was removed 8/4/09 I been having pain in my neck sometime i cant sleep the pain gets so bad so I went to a Doctor for my neck and he sent for a xray and they told they see some metal clips in my neck no one told me about metal clips in my neck.

Avatar f tn In the past year, I have had weight gain and fatigue. I was at the doctor for a follow up on neck and shoulder pain when I mentioned to my doctor that I had pain from my ear down to my shoulder on the right side, I figured it was related to the bulging disc in my neck. The doctor felt my neck from my ears all the way down my neck. He thought my neck felt full. He questioned me about thyroid problems in my family.
Avatar n tn I have continuous pain, sometimes numbness in my upper left arm between the shoulder and the elbow. I also have sharp pain by the left should blade.
Avatar f tn In late 2010 I suffered mild morning nausea (from MUltaq ?), attacks of neck and left shoulder and arm pain and weakness.

I had also sometimes ringing or humming of ears. My sight one time became as pixelled and a few times slightly smoggy. My neck symptoms have become worse in Autumn. My neurologist thaugth that I may have TIA attacks.
640719 tn?1277140030 This make sense. Last July 2013 I was diagnosed with neck pain that I thought was a steep neck before. Now,its 2 years already and I still have the same pain in my neck. I'm a hyperthyroidism and every time I take my pills, it cause so much pain in my neck. I red so much blogs about thyroid problem and my doctor was right that I have the grave disease. One thing that I really hate was my neck pain, because no one could remove that pain or explain to me why.

Avatar f tn Histopathology confirmed Pappillary Ca in thyroid and ONLY ONE neck node with Ca growth. I underwent complete thyroidectomy and left neck lymph nodes removal on 25 May 09. Post surgery, I have difficulty in moving my left arm upwards above shoulder level and am unable to do even simple tasks with this hand. Occasionally, there is shooting pain across the entire arm. From 2 July onwards, I have been undergoing physiotherapy with IFT, stretching exercises and ultrasound.

666921 tn?1254990618 You could have two different things going on: Lyme and something else that is causing neck pain. That makes diagnosis more difficult, but not impossible. Looking back, it seems I had a thyroid infection or something that dragged on and on, and then I got Lyme and a coinfection, so the drs were really confused beyond what they might be otherwise. It is inflammation that causes the stiff neck I have from Lyme; it is slowly going away with antibiotic treatment.
