Lostmyoldlogin,

They're probably thyroid nodules. If the large nodule is > 1.5cm your consultant will probably arrange a fine needle aspiration biopsy to rule out malignancy. The FNA is not painful but is a little uncomfortable as you have to lie back with your throat arched upwards for a while. Pressing a compress hard on the site for 20-30 minutes after the FNA will reduce swelling and bruising but you may need to use paracetamol for a couple of days after. 95% of thyroid nodules are benign and most thyroid nodules don't affect thyroid hormone levels.
