I had inguinal hernia surgery 28 days ago, but for the past 3 days, I've been having pain in my thyroid area. Could this be related to the surgery or is it something else? Wondering why this is happening now.

It's unlikely that thyroid pain is directly related to an inguinal hernia surgery, especially occurring three weeks after the procedure. While some pain can be expected after surgery, thyroid pain is not a typical symptom. It's possible this could be a separate issue, and it's best to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and guidance.

I'm trying to understand my recent test results and I'm a bit worried. My Anti Thyroid Peroxidase antibody is over 1300, but my Anti Thyroglobulin antibody is within the normal range at 28. Also, my T3 is 1.26, TSH is 5.43, and T4 is 8.01, which are all within normal limits. But my Vitamin D levels are low at 12. What do these findings suggest? Should I consider getting a thyroid scan done?
