Suggest Remedies For Chronic Pain In Front Neck, Fatigue And Dry Skin

I have had pain in the front of my neck for the last 5 months. I was diagnosed with lymphocytic thyroiditis, a thyroid nodule (no biopsy), and blood tests were in normal range except my liver so I was just put on prednisone for treatment. The pain only went away when I was taking 60 mg a day. Now as of 2 days ago I am on 10 mg and my lymh nodes have randomly swelled up and are hurting. My doctor just said well I can given you 20 mg of prednisone if that s what you want... it s your choice ... I wouldn t contact a doctor for less than something of real concern. I m only 22 and I shouldn t be experience this chronic frontal neck pain everyday without reason. Other symptoms I have are fatigue, lethargic, feeling down, inability to lose weight, dry skin, and my LFTs are high, no other tests have been done yet. Please help.

Hello,

Vital concern of neck pain with symptoms of thyroid issue is about thyroid function tests in terms of TSH and free T 3 and T 4 levels.

Kindly revert with details of above reports if done and available with you for further reference.

Take care.
