A member asked:
Had total thyroidectomy 3 weeks ago. is it normal for there to still be pain and discomfort in the neck and throat at this point?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's Normal.: Three weeks after such a significant surgery, the underlying soft tissues are still healing , so there will be some discomfort or pain. It will take 8-10 weeks to complete healing. If persists or gets worse must see your surgeon.
