Yes, get a different opinion. Do you go to an Endo, or ENT?
I had a TT about 16yrs ago due to graves/goiter/hyper.
I did have to have my submandibular gland removed due to a mass attached to it along with two lymph nodes that had become enlarged due to infection. The mass turned out to be benign, but my surgeon said there was not anyway of knowing unless it came out. My mass, lymph nodes had grown in size as well. Turned out my submandibular gland was badly infected.
My pain is all gone & doing well.
Get a second opinion.
Sometimes the blood vessel ruptures and bleeding takes place inside thyroid nodule leading to its rapid enlargement and related symptoms; the ultrasound shows growing cystic component within the nodule. The blood from the cyst is aspirated to cure the symptoms. You need to get the ultrasound, go to the different doctor if necessary.
By a mass i guess that is noduals you had biopsied. Do you also have a goiter? this as well as Noduals can cause the ears, throat and voice problems.Were your thyroid blood tests ok? i would want another opinion or ask for another scan, if the mass is bigger and causing you problems you have every right to have it looked at further..
