@nyctrin Thanks for your response. Is this something you can live with, or will there be a procedure to remove them? What did your doctor recommend?

I’m pushing to get these removed. It looks like there is about 6 bone shards and one of them shifted by my thyroid by the looks of the CT scan. I’m more than happy to upload these pictures.

The Ct scans below doesn’t show the 6 I was talking about because it was shown at a different angle but bone fragments is not something you want to live with. Sharp objects like this can make their way to veins and arteries.

I’ve added the most recent CT Scans showing the fragments. To me they are very clear to see. I’m suppose to get a phone call Monday to setup a date for surgery. I’m starting to have pain though on the right side of my throat now along with the left side so this sucks and hoping I can get surgery sooner than later.

Spoke with another ENT and he thinks those are titanium clips. Even though usually those don’t move around, I can feel the one in the upper throat.

I did confirm they used clips instead of just tying off the nerves.
