TSH testing: TSH is usually tested 4-8 weeks after starting or changing the dose. Generally, clinical symptoms should improve in about the same timeframe as the retesting is done if not a little earlier. Of course, this assumes that the symptoms are due to the thyroid and not some other cause.

About 1 month: For thyroid Ca a hemi or total thyroidectomy performed. Nerve dissection is usually bilateral to larynx and carotids are mobilized laterally. Trachea is usually exposed and as such healing to superior laryngeal performed. Depending on hemostasis during procedure clot formed may cause pressure. This can be minimized if drain had been left in place 24hrs. until wound dry.
