You need to see a doctor to evaluate whether you have scar tissue or some other structural problem. That doesn't sound like thyroid to me.

What other symptoms are you experiencing.  I have a hyperthyroid problem.  My thyroid problem causes me to sweat excessive and have heart palpitations sometimes.  It has accelerated my metabolism.  Swelling at the base of the neck is usually a symptom of a thyroid problem.  You should see an endocrinologist for a thyroid blood test.
