Hello! I am a 46 year old female. Over the past several years I have noticed that my neck cartilage seems to getting larger as I age. Now I notice that my Adams Apple area is larger with more a bulge on the left side. No pain. I am a Fibromyalgia sufferer if that means anything! Should I be concerned. I have had Thyroid bloodwork as recently as about 5 months ago.

The change in thickness in cartilage can be a comparative issue it can appear to you due to age related comparative decrease in muscle mass. There is no relation between fibromyalgia and this. If it continues to trouble to then it will be better to have a complete clinical examination for any issues. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
