Vocal chord damage in thyroidectomy
Hi all, I had a total
Thyroidectomy
2 days ago which was a difficult op. My thyroid had grown so large it was pressing on my larynx, growing downwards to my chest, and growing round the back of my oesophagus.

Thyroidectomy
So just wondered if anybody who has had experience of
thyroidectomy
with any issues or complications could give me any advice about it and how the operation/recovery was and aftercare and conversion issues and how the NHS has treated them.

Post op concerns
How long does it take to fully recover from a partial
Thyroidectomy
? Is there anything I can do or take to reduce the swelling at the incision site? Thanks in advance for any responses to my query Regards Purplesane

Good source of t3
I'm 10 years from having total
thyroidectomy
. T4 only suppression treatment for Papillary Cancer. I've established, through another post and my blood results, that my T4 percentage isnt good and my coversion to T3 is poor.

Post Thyroidectomy and a confused GP
I’m post RAI (2006) post
thyroidectomy
(March 2024) on 125 micrograms Levo daily. Pre
thyroidectomy
I was unmedicated as my tsh was nearly 0 and my T4 low ( my Endo did not know what I should take ) as my thyroid had regrown after RAI.

statins/tsh
I had a total
thyroidectomy
20 years ago due to thyroid cancer, so my tsh levels are kept very low, usually 0.03 or sometimes even lower. As I have high cholesterol recently I was put on atorvastatin. Bloods were checked today and tsh has gone up to 2.75 though still in range.

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
The surgeon at MGH has recommended total
thyroidectomy
. I cannot do radioactive iodine because I also have Graves' induced Thyroid Eye Disease. This has been a shit year. Currently, I feel okay but all my thyroid levels are completely NOT normal.

13 months post thyroidectomy fatigue
I can't seem to find the right dose. Hair loss, dry skin, puffy face, sirens in ears!, severe fatigue.
I was on 75 for 4 days, 88 three days. TSH was 1.16. Up from .69. I felt better and then BAM after 8 weeks terrible body spasms, and more. TSH was 6.01! Doctors: back to 88 for 6 days and 75

Thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter
I underwent a full
thyroidectomy
due to several big nodules. I have never been told whether it was due to Hashimoto or Graves… Is there any way to know at all?

SSRIs
She is now 42 and has been told over several years that she needs a
thyroidectomy
, but refuses because of her lack of trust in the medical profession. Her symptoms are damaging her life and health, so some answers would be very much appreciated
