My 81 yr old mom has had a burning sensation at the back of her neck for months now, it is accompanied by headaches and sometimes stomach acid. It is so uncomfortable that it is difficult to sleep. It is mildly alleviated by cold packs. She has had a brain MRI, her thyroid has been check, her colon and stomach, and her hormone levels. She also has high blood pressure that sky-rockets during these episodes.
Hi, for the last few months ive been having discomfort in the front/right of my neck, just next to my adams apple.
When i get this sensation (many, many, times a day), i find that if i push on my neck, just to the right of my adams apple, something crunches/pops back into place and it feels a bit better again.
Hello. Starting in March, I have discomfort on the right side of my neck. That has pretty much gone away. For over a week now, the front of my neck has a gnawing discomfort. I've had blood work and an ultrasound on my thyroid and both tests came back normal. Is this something that will go away on its own or should I pursue further tests?? Also, I have been taking prilosec for over a week every day to see if acid reflux is the culprit.
I found a lump in the bottom of my throat on the right hand side. It is slightly smaller than a marble and slightly tender. It moves up and down when I swallow. I have no thyroid symptoms. I I went to the doctor today and he said that the lump was a vascular formation?
That makes no sense to me. It seems rather large to be a vascular. How could he tell the difference between vascular and a thyroid nodule?
I have a small marble size lump on the inside of the right side of my neck. It is close to my esphogus and is painiful when I swallow or stretch my neck. It was sudden onset since last week. I am 56 yrs old. I have thyroid nodules which are benign and stable. I had blood work last month which was all normal. What could cause this condition?
Hi everyone. I just wanna ask about colloid cyst that seen in my ultrasound for thyroid. The colloid cyst size is 2mm and no thyroid nodule seen. What is the next steps to be done if I have colloid cyst? Why my neck is really painful in all area of my neck. I can't explain the pain but it bothers me alot. The endocrinology told me that my thyroid is normal but still thinking why it hurts. Please help me to understand my situation. I don't know what to do next.
I had a total thyroidectomy in 2005 and last week my new endocrinologist told me that my thyroid is growing back that she could feel it in my neck. I had been having problems with tightness in my neck and I found it really weird that I was experiencing HYPER-thyoid symptoms when I am HYPO. My endo. told me that it could be due to my thyroid having some function again. I am really stressing about the tightness on the front of my neck. It feels as though something is wrapping around my throat.
About 6 months ago I started developing pain in the side of my neck. At first I thought it was a toothache because my lower back jaw and my ear hurt as well. I can barely touch the side of my neck and if feels like I have a sore throat when I swallow. This goes on for about a week and them the symptoms disappear. Then I will get the same pain back right around a month later. This has been going on for about 6 month now? What is causing this pain in my neck?
My 8 year old son had decompression surgery in Jan 08 and for the last 2 months has been
suffering from pain in his upper back, neck and shoulders. A physical therapist says he has large knots in his muscles. the therapy helps a little but his pain is constant.
Has anyone else had this experience after surgery?
Also he has short statue but his thyroid tests have come back normal.???
Any suggestions?
I have most of the typical symptoms of Hyperthyroidism and most annoying to me is confusion and short term memory problems. I am experiencing a bit of pain on the left side of my neck as well. I am 5 feet 9 inches tall and currently weigh 290lbs. In my teens and twenties and even into my early ‘30s I was of normal weight and only gradually became obese in my late ‘30s early ‘40s. I have had great difficulty loosing weight on any diet and I do exercise regularly.
s not uncommon. I was of course super paranoid of it and it was so swollen I looking like a hunch back. Mine was also on different sides. I got my thyroid checked, you should definitely do that. I also got my neck xrayed. They said my glands were just extremely swollen. That sounded like too simple of an answer, but it was true, because as I have gotten better throughout treatment, it has gotten better!
Hello,
I just turned 32 and on April 22nd I had a ct that showed a 6mm nodule in right lobe of thyroid,which was found because I have been hoarse since March .
I don't have any idea what it's about. As I said, I've had it all my life, so I don't think it's related to thyroid necessarily. I do have a lot of turtle necks that I've tugged at the neck enough to make them look more like cowl necks, though! There are times when I've thought that there's something about my body that tends to make shirts "pull up" at the front of the neck and down in the back???
It is unusual but not impossible for thyroid tissue to grow back. It is impossible to remove all the thyroid cells. Especially as they need to try to retain the parathyroids and these sit in a bed of thyroid tissue. Without them you would be in a lot of trouble! It's usually only with RAI (radiation ablation) that 99.999999999% of the thyroid tissue is destroyed.
When Armour was available again, I switched back and my acid reflux was gone in 3 days, as I remember, as a result of the T3 in the med. I was confident that my acid reflux was gone, so I eliminated one of the Prilosec, with no problem. I then stopped altogether and still was doing okay until my doctor insisted that I at least stay on one Prilosec, due to concerns about the Barrett's.
So all that made me wonder what your thyroid related test results look like.
I was born with a small lump toward the lower end of my neck in the front. it doesnt cause me any pain but i am constantly asked if it is related to thyroid or fibromitosis. Both of these terms scare me, i guess my question is that over the last two years its almost tripled in size. I am starting to worry. I have no insurance and am low income. Does anyone have an idea what this could be? concerned and confused.....
