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.

My 80-year-old grandma has toxic multinodular goiter her thyroid scan showed high uptake, T3 and T4 are elevated, and TSH is very low. The doctor suggested neomercazole for six weeks followed by surgery, but she's hesitant about the operation. She's had an enlarged thyroid for years with no swallowing or breathing issues, just some breathlessness when walking. Could medication alone manage her hyperthyroidism, or is surgery really necessary in her case? She's worried about going under the knife at her age. Also, should we start the neomercazole as prescribed?
