Yes, it needs eval.: The gurgling could be from increased blood flow in the area from your nodule's growth or from increased inflammation. This can sometimes indicate that you need a FNA biopsy of the nodule or a change in your thyroid medications. You should see a thyroid specialist to further evaluate.

My child has had strep. Throat before, and he has tics and/or ocd. Does that mean he has pandas?

Not enough: Panda's requires periodic flare-ups of tics/ocd associated with recent infection and elevated antistreptocccocal antibodies - aso and antidnase - that elevated when the symptoms flare. Your doctor is the only one who can diagnose panda's.

I have pain in my neck and have had many joint surgeries, is this common in eds?

Dr. Pavel Conovalciucanswered

Hard to tell: Neck pain and joint pain is just as common in eds as in many other non-eds causes. As far as joint surgeries go, I am not sure what kind of surgeries you had and for what reason. Definitely, eds patients have multiple joint problems (hypermobility, fractures, laxaty etc.) that makes them prone to trauma etc.

What might cause pain in the thigh that seems to move around in buttocks and groin if the doctor suggested an ultrasound and venogram?

Hip Joint and spine: The pain in the anatomical region you have mentioned could be from the hip joint, spine, and soft tissue infection. Venous blood clots can result in pain and swelling in the calf and thigh but not in the buttocks. A good history and physical exam will usually identify the system involved.

Yes: I recomend you keep the throat clean. Rinse and swish after meals. Use an antiseptic mouth wash. Avoid feeding the invading organisms.

Multiple reasons: Could be something as simple as anxiety or something pathology in the area. Would recommend seeing an ENT specialist to evaluate it.
