Thyroid gland/goiter pushing o trachea.

@marshbs Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I honestly don’t know about the pain you are experiencing. But, I’m sure another member will have the answer you’re looking for.
When is your surgery planned for? It will be nice to have the thyroid removed and no longer pushing on the trachea.

I have been referred to an endocrinologist/surgeon in Burlington, VT. My consultation isn't until July 29.

@marshbs
I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and had right lobectomy due to a 2.5 cm suspicious nodule. I am now hypothyroid and take 100 mcg levothyroxine. Have you been tested for Hashimoto’s with a full thyroid panel that includes looking for thyroid autoantibodies? If not, you may want to ask for this. Hashimoto’s can affect muscles and joints and cause pain. I have this, too. Read more below.

I had the exact same thing with my thyroid since 2017. Unfortunately, after the thyroidectomy ( when my body realized I didn't have a thyroid) my body crashed big time. It is almost 8 yrs now and I am still recuperating. I pray that you have NO such problems as I had. Wish the info WAD more uplifting but it is what it is. Everyone is different and you may NOT have any such problems.

That is so scary. Maybe I shouldn't have my thyroid removed.

My reply was for the person who had large nodules pressing on her traecha.

My thyroid/goiter is also pushing on my trachea.

thank you for sharing. Years ago a dr told me having my thyroid removed would bring a halt to my thyroid problems. My current endo wants to wait and watch to see if i re-stabilize. Hope you feel better soon

i had subclinical hyperthroid diagnosis for years and no pain. sorry you are suffering

Thank You.
