In need some advice... I have a cyst in the right hand side of my thyroid gland.... i am waiting for a date for a Thyroidectomy to have this taken out ..... however this is now starting to cause me great discomfort. Its a throbbing pain and i am getting a lot of headaches accompanied with a shooting pain through the lump and up the side of my neck. The lump itself is about the size of a golf ball and is embedded in my neck squashed next to my throat. I have had blood tests and a biopsy and also a scan... the hospital have said that it is non cancerous and that it is just a cyst. Its not fluid. Can anyone please give me some advise on how to ease the pain. :(

Call your doctor immediately, as any pain caused by the nodule on your thyroid could be a sign that it's infected or that it's pressing against blood vessels. I have a multi-nodular goitre also, and my doctor says that I must tell him immediately if it starts causing any sort of discomfort. Call your doctor today, and don't delay.
Good luck, and I hope you're marched straight up the waiting list so this can be sorted.

A few months ago, I was very sick, zero energy, freezing cold, depressed, weight gain, thought I was dying. I read every word of this Hypothyroidism Revolution program and followed all the advice. My life turned around the first week. I started to feel human again. Within weeks my energy came back and I felt like living again.
Get the entire hypothyroidism revolution system today? just choose the best option for you.

Call Your Dr, or see if Your area has the "Ask-a-Nurse" program.
Call information to find out.
I'd not advise any pain-pills, until-and-unless You get the OK from some medically-knowledgeable person/s.

I would agree with Mrs B. It's possible you have bled into the cyst you need soon assessment.

Ask you doc for the strongest, appropriate pain relief he can prescribe for you.
