Yes, it's common to have thyroid pain with Hashimoto's.  It could be caused by swollen lymph nodes, or the antibodies attacking the thyroid.  The pain you mention sounds much worse than a dull ache, so it might be wise to have it looked at.  I'm sorry and I hope you feel better soon.

i over reacted to a home situation where i normally would not.
