Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear why your thyroid removed??? Have you developed Graves disease?? Some times Graves disease patients may develop post thyroidectomy
Graves orbiteropathy. stimulation of the thyrotropin receptors located in the retro-orbital fibroblast and adipose tissue by thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAb) leading to muscle swelling and increased orbital pressure. Steroids may need to control this problem, etmoidal sinusitis may cause eye pain and tearing of eyes. Other possibilities like conjunctivitis etc may cause this problem. Please consult your ophthalmologist he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask.
