Can sleeping facedown hurt my goiter? i've had pain there the past few weeks; i sleep on my back now but the pain persists. could i have injured it?

Shouldn't: Sleeping on your thyroid shouldn't hurt. Usually goiters don't hurt anyway. If you are having pain in your thyroid, you should have an evaluation to figure out why.
