I have to go and get an ultrasound, I really don’t know what that will tell me but I have a soreness on the side of my neck (not really a lump) As you can tell I hate going to Doctors. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

I have yet to go for a TSH but a recent ultrasound found several thyroid nodules. I have gained 20 lbs in the past month and really can’t afford this! I have several other symptoms as well such as palpitations, trouble swallowing, etc. My question is…. if they get my thyroid regulated with meds, will my excess weight come off or am I doomed to be like this? I am not a vain person. I am getting married soon and need to fit in my wedding dress! Hoping for some answers.

I have had thyroid symptoms for a long time, with always normal labs. Doesn’t make sense. Past couple years ultrasound every 6 mos. for thyroid swelling. Multi nodular goiter. Last week u/s showed one nodule getting larger. Have to have fine needle biopsy. I am so scared, right here at Christmas to have to go through this. Have feeling of choking, tightness in throat, lots of congestion in throat, hoarseness at times, fatigue, nervousness, palpitations etc. NORMAL LABS..Anyone have any suggestions? Mother had thyroid removed 80 yrs ago lots of thyroid disease in family. No thyroid cancer, though. I’m scared anyone have this problem????I do have cervical disc ruptures that I’m suppose to have surgery for, could that be causing any of my symptoms???Thanks so much for anyone who can help!!!

I know there is a 5% chance of cancer if only a nodule is found. BUT I have been having unknown health problems for 4 years. They found my thyroid level to be pretty low. The nodule was mostly solid and the ultrasound couldnt rule cancer out. I didnt see anything about hot or cold. The specialist said he cant see me for 2 months. Ofcourse I am not going to wait that long. Does it seem like my chances are higher than 5%?

A friend of mine was recently told by a doctor that she should get an ultrasound for a pronounced (or enlarged) thyroid. What are the potential health complications indicated by a pronounced thyroid?

I have had multinodular thyroid disease for many years. My thyroid gland works perfectly, but I have been monitored by various endocrinologists for years. I take Synthroid to get the nodules in check. However, in January, my tests (an ultrasound and a nuclear medicine scan) showed I now had 6 large fluid filled cold nodules. The Dr assured me they are benign. My Dr. increased my thyroid dosage for 6 months to see if there would be any improvement. I just had another ultrasound prior to my doctor’s appt next week & now I have 30-40 nodules. I have some difficulty swallowing, especially at night if I lay on my back, and my neck sometimes hurts. I am I know that the medical people are reluctant to remove a thyroid gland that works, but I am beginning to feel that maybe it is time for the surgery. I am 54 and in good health otherwise. Has anyone else had this situation? Do you think I should discuss this with the endocrinologist and maybe get a 2nd opinion?

I’ve been having problems with my thyroid,(swelling ,rapid heartbeat) I just had an ultrasound but i haven’t learned the results yet. Just wondering if that’s a symptom of Lupus because i have several symptoms of that also, I’m not paranoid or anything I just don’t want to miss anything. Thanks for your answers!

I just had an ultrasound done today and my thyroid gland is 4.3cm. Is this normal or is it a little enlarged?
