Unclear question.: You had "thyroid " pain for 3 days after RAI treatment 4 years ago and now you have problem with throat pain when you turn your neck or swallow? I think it is time for you to consult an ENT to find out what may be wrong with your throat. I also wonder if you have a cervical spine problem but can't tell for sure based on your history. Make sure there's nothing wrong with your throat 1st.
