Anyone with thyroid nodules, goiter, or nurses!? I have thyroid nodules and am on a wait list for surgery. I just don't know what to do about the pain anymore. , I cry because of the amount of pain, I can't eat without choking on my food. I've taken Advil but it hasn't helped. I would go to a walk in clinic but there isn't any open. Do you guys know any way I can subside the pain? Or should I be going to emerg for the pain?
