Graves disease with awful neck and shoulder pain!

I have spoken to Linda she s great helped me a lot I'm taking supplement s have u got goiter karmaway? I had and do they go away I mean goiters or not or they just shrink in size?

A small one that goes up and down! I have nodules! Read about lugols iodine but not if you have nodules x

They did thyroid scan in November last year confirmed thyroiditis goiter but no noudles

Ok, You have Graves antibodies too? Iodine may be good for you but research it first!! I'm not a Dr haha

Hi Karmaway,

I googled hyperthyroidism/Graves with neck pain and came up with Dr Quervain's thyroiditis. At least the symptoms are of neck pain.

Sorry to hear that you are in pain, and hope you'll find a way to resolve that too.

Thank you ♥️

Haha u r such a good person bringing a big smile on my face God bless u I will look at it thanks

Awww thanks!! We need to remain positive eh? ♥️

Yes I have thyroid receptor antibodies positive they call it TRAB and peroxidase positive they were 55 recently

Yes, I even ended up having a shoulder operation. As it turned out, it was all due to my overactive thyroid and both shoulders got better as soon as it was under control. Very severe pain in both shoulders and very limited movement. I had cortosteroid injections twice before the op. Then the pain came back 6 months later and I was signosed with severe hyperthyroidism.

Oh god!! Ugh!! It's rubbish isn't it!! I wonder what causes it?? What shoulder op did you have? I've been referred for physio!

I can't remember the name of it but it's the keyhole one where they go into the joint and shave off the lumps and bumps inside the joint that are causing the impingement. It did work for a while (once the pain of the op wore off) but only lasted for 6 months before the pain and impingement started again. I had physio and it didn't help one bit. But then once my thyroid was under control, I noticed all pain was gone and I pretty much have full function of my shoulders back.
