neck swelling

i have a swelling on the left side of my neck just above my collarbone. It seems to get bigger during the day, as when i wake it is not there really. It is painless. I take thyroxine 75mg as i have been diagnosed with underative thyroid. Is this lump due to this? i thought a goitre would be central on the neck?

Is it that your neck is swelled, or is there actually a lump?  A lump in that area could be a swollen lymph node which could be caused by many things.

I sounds more like thyroidtitis - or enlargement of the thyroid (on one side)

I would suggest calling the doctor and ask for a scan and a TPO test - just in case Hashimoto is starting to pop up.
