Hi, I had a partial thyroidectomy 3 weeks ago. I visited my pcp today who examined the scar area (it s obviously healed and scarred by now) and she noticed a knot at the front of my neck. She told me I should get it checked out by my surgical team. A few days after surgery is when I initially noticed the knot myself because I felt a ton of pressure in my neck and it felt like there was a ball inside my neck. So I went to the ER and they did a ct scan and these are the results. They sent me on my way with no treatment. Should I be worried? This is my ct result
Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.  Is it painful? Is the scar is red and hot?  If these are absent then you should not be worried about it. It's just an edema secondary to surgery. You should stay calm and use painkillers and other Chat Doctor.  Meanwhile, stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain Get well soon Hope your query is adequately ad
