<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi, for awhile since they found a couple large nodules in my goiter- have said I have multi-nodular goiter, but it s benign...however then they said one of the nodules is cystic, but stable, that was over a year ago..because my endocrinologist wants it removed, yet why can t they do it? evidently some sort of specialized ent dr needs to...anyway - I have some sort of lumpy stuff under my armpits, I found a very large knot under my chin bone on the left side also one under my chin, my thyroid feels inflamed, I also found another knot behind my knee. I am seeing a pain mng. dr. for strange rib problems back neck...he told me to see another endocrinologist...the thing is I am tired of running around trying to find a dr that will help me, my throat hurts really badly especially with the lump- now I noticed parts of my gums are whit an infected looking, I have been in pain and really tired with night sweats etc. I don t know what to do- every time I go to the dr. they don t do much but give me something for what feels like side effects or infection IDK- then they tell me to go see a dr- I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO! It s like an endless circle of hell? what can I do? should I go to the er now?  <response>: Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with Chat Doctor! If I were your treating Doctor for this case of multiple body lumps, I would like to go for some biopsyFNAC test from the axillary or knee swellings as the thyroid goiter is there for so many years; it might be a bad disease like malignancy or lymph nodes! Therefore, no wastage of time... I suggest you to go for an FNAC and CT scan of the region s for confirmation and to relieve your concerns! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
