Status post thyroid surgery

I have read the postings about the area hard under or above the thyroid after surgery and I had surgery of thr right side of my thyroid because of a nodule present thank goodness it was not cancer. However I still feel very tired and the nodule that is now present under the suture line is there and sore. I can breathe ok and swallow ok but the nodule that is there is painful and I can't MAKE ANYONE UNDERSTAND THAT. I am sorry to hear that others have had this same problem but also glad to know that I am not alone in the fact that others too are having the same thing.
What can I do to make people hear me and  will this go away????????
My surgery was June 11th


This discussion is related to lump in neck after thyroid surgery?.

You are probably feeling the scar tissue and the swelling that is common after surgery.  Give it about 6 more weeks and it should go back to normal.  I had the surgery twice and experienced the same thing you are taking about and it did go away but it took a few months.

I'm so glad that you didn't have cancer!

Thanks for the encouragment that does make me feel better to hear that it will go away in some time. About the pain will that remain the entire time as well or get better too?
