Pain In Throat, Low Energy Levels 8 Weeks Post Surgical Removal Of Thyroid. TSH Levels Fine. Suggested Testing For Hashimotos For Imbalanced Blood. Explain
Hello Doctors,
I recently had my left thyroid removed due to a large nodule which was causing me breathing issues. Thankfully it was non cancerous. I am now 8 weeks post surgery and am still experiencing pain in my throat. The surgeon feels everything went well with the surgery but has agreed to order a CT scan. What questions should I be asking once the CT scan is conducted? They have tested my TSH levels and advise that my thyroid is functioning fine, however I have very low energy levels. In addition I have had my blood analyzed by a professional and he had some very specific concerns about my red blood cells and has place me on a supplement/diet plan to repair my blood. He states my blood in imbalanced. What do you think he means when he says imbalanced? I asked if I should be tested for HASHIMOTOS disease and the ENT specialist said yes.

Hello,
Pain after 8 weeks of surgery may be related to late complication of the surgery or a different entity itself.
Without relevant investigation we can not attribute any cause to it.
Hashimotos disease is a autoimmune disease of the thyroid.
In that cause you Thyroid function test might have been abnormal. But it was normal. So this cause can be put to rest for the time being.
Abnormal RBC's means less oxygen carrying capacity of the RBC.
So this produces weakness and low energy level due to oxygen deficiency.
Correct your RBC's and hemoglobin.
