if these symptoms is the results of "thyroiditis attack" condition, the antiinflammatory pain relievers were recommended.
I had/have on and off "soreness" and I have been using ibuprofen and sometimes Advid PM at night to help. I mostly take it for the swelling and funky feeling I get with my neck and ear - it helps some, maybe it would help you. Hope you feel better soon! ~Kim
What is the proper medication of painful goiter???
Hello,
if the goitre is caused by very high TSh, then the proper treatment is thyroid medication to suppress the TSh and replace the missing hormones.
If the goitre is due to antibody attach on the thyroid then surgery may be considered.
Have they done ultrasound to try to determine why you have goitre?
You need to get your thyroid hormones tested, along with the TSH. You also need to have antibodies tested, in order to find out what is causing the goiter.
TSH, by itself, does not cause symptoms; symptoms come from the lack (or excess) of the actual thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4 (either hypothyoidism or hyperthyroidism).
If you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the body sees the thyroid as foreign and produces antibodies to destroy the thyroid. As the destruction progresses, they thyroid will produce less and less hormones, causing hypothyroidism, which is treated with thyroid hormone replacement.
