From: Amy B on 8 Sep 2008 16:21 Hi again. I have another question I was wondering if anyone here knows the answer to. Last week I found out I'm Hypothyroid (yet have no symptoms). Not on meds yet, but probably will be soon. Have been dealing with Hashimoto's for some time. But for the last month or so i've had a mild, yet kind of sharp, pain in my neck that sometimes feels like my thyroid is hurting and sometimes feels like it's running up the sides of my neck. It "moves around" and is rather vague in pinpointing. I also have been having a similar pain in my chest, mostly right in the middle, sometimes a little to the right side. It seems to "move around" in an area from just below my collar bone to about a hand's width below. It is also mild, yet sharp, and hard to pinpoint because it seems to "move around. It gets worse when inhaling/holding my breath and after exercising (either lifting weights or doing aerobics). Sometimes it hurts directly behind in my upper back and in my right shoulder. I'm 99% sure it's not my heart (doctor did an x-ray) or my lungs or any kind of heartburn thing. After all that, what I'm wondering, is could the pains in my neck and chest/back/shoulder be cause by the thyroid issues? Or should I trudge to the doctor or just continue to ignore it?
From: Elizabeth on 8 Sep 2008 20:44 Amy, I can only answer "maybe" to the possibility that some or all of the symptoms you describe are due to thyroid. As many will tell you, the thyroid affects every part of our bodies, so when it isn't functioning right, many seemingly unrelated symptoms may well be caused or exacerbated by it. Does the pain go away with a pain reliever such as Tylenol or Advil? Body aches as well as localized discomfort in the area of the thyroid may well be related to your hypothyroidism.

There are chiropractors who pretend to be an Activator Method practioner and are not ... so you get the horror stories that way. This kind of Chiropractic "Tests" each joint and then moves then if necessary and the "Tests" the joint again. If the tests 'Fail" .. then the Chiropractor tells you to go to surgery and get some work done that way ... your joints are falling apart for some reason and this needs to be sorted out why. Degenerative Joint Disease, Disk Disease, Bone Cancer, needing surgery or a laminectomy and stuff like that to fix what is breaking down. This could be something simple and coincedental .. or more signs of you dying as you age. We all go to the grave ... the question poise for everyone is how do you want to do it. I refuse to live in fear ... so I change the emotional bathwater and have the love burn though the fear. Have to ask for Love, be open and willing to receive it and wait a few days. It will come it ... it stings I have to admitt. Makes the eyes water. Good stuff, great family fun and the kids love it. sumbuddie on da watchtower :)

I had the moving throat choke too...turned out my thyroid had grown into the base of my tongue so when they went to remove the goiter, they ended up disconnecting the tongue/thyroid thing, removing the goiter, a mass, and the left lobe of my thyroid. just because it isnt a 'standard' symptom doesnt mean it isnt a symptom. also, the constant heartburn and occasional chest pain....never had them until 2 days after they removed my thyroid lobe. I think its all connected. the thyroid controls everything and when it looses control it gets this 'i cant get my way so i'm taking my ball and going home' type attitude. my thyroid as it turned out was the cause of my mvp, my papitations and my heart murmer...cant spell worth a darn, but in the meantime, tell your doctor. if he tells you its in your head, tell him you gonna get a new doctor. also the chest/back/shoulder thing could be thyroid related fibromyalgia....which is no fun either.
