Fybromalgia and thyroid / front of the neck pain.

[Mariechristine]

Hello,

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and possibly respond .

Can Fybromalgia cause pain in the thyroid area ? It started about 2 weeks ago with some very sore throat while swallowing. I thought I was coming down with a cold ?

Went away then the pain sort of traveled to the thyroid area. I feel some kind of mild discomfort in the front of my neck. I can’t feel any lump of swolleness. It simply bothers me . At times feels like a pinch of burning sensation.

The doc mentioned fybromalgia when i had joint pain and was going under a LOT of stress last year ( still happening..)

Not sure what to think about this pain in the front bottom part of my neck.

I would appreciate anyone’s opinion.

I will definitely call an endocrinologist soon. But would like to know if anyone has experienced thyroid pain or pain in that area due to Fybromalgia ? Seems odd.

Thank you

Stay healthy

Have you had a thyroid antibodies check? 😊

I didn’t do antibodies check. I will prob when I see a doctor.

Thank you for your response

I have the same problem with front of my neck. I feel like someone is strangling me. Some days it's constant. Don't know what to do about it.

Did you see a physician ?

I would see a doc in a heartbeat if it wasn’t for the virus/quarantine..

I am a bit reluctant.

I don’t see how this pain could go away on its own.

I will be seeing a neurologist soon but I think it's a fibro symptom. Contraction of the neck muscles I've been told. Stress can trigger it. I'll find out when I see the doctor.

Hi Entela15, I too get this feeling, as though something is either around my throat, or is pulling it downwards. I had put it down to stress, but am now wondering if it is to do with my fibromyalgia.x

Sorry, I don’t get notifications someone sends a message. Yes , it’s killing me. I will make an appointment Monday. It’s not going anywhere.

Any new pain/new area of pain that continues more than a few days is best checked out by a health professional. While fibromyalgia pain can occur in any part of the body - there could be another cause that is treatable

Worth having it checked out when you can, as some Fibromites have Thyroid problems along with the Fibro.

Did you get anywhere with this? I have had terrible neck issues for a number of months and high BP. Finding it hard to get anywhere with GP. Considering paying full thyroid test. If not need to see a consultant to sort this out.
