Hello, I was wondering if you all think that this is a lump on my neck or is this my imagination? I am hypo was dx this past June.
Here are my number with ranges :
June...
TSH..4.84...range..0.450-4.500
free T4..0.90..range..0.82-1.77
T3 ..212...range..71-180
Doctor gave me .25 mcg of Levothyroxine.
July...
TSH..3.040....range..0.450-4.500
Now I no I need to get other tests done including antibodies, FT3 ..etc...
Back in Aug. I went to my Endo , he did a sonogram found that I was swollen in my left lobe, I dont have the right side due to a nodule. He increased my levothyroxine (.50mcg ) and said to take Advil and also said the swelling should go down. Well it hasnt 3 weeks later I went back to him and now he wants me to have it removed.
I just want to know if you see a lump or is it my imagination...(see picture)
Thank you for all your time....I have an appointment to see an Endo this Wednesday.
