Can a thyroid enlargement impinge upon your nerves and cause neck pain?

Possible, but: Unlikely. Have a checkup with your doctor if you have neck pain.

Anything is possible: But rather than speculate, go see your doctor for an evaluation and appropriate imaging eg xrays of neck vs ultrasound of thyroid or both depending upon findings.

Possible: But get it checked by your doctor as investigations will be required to rule it in or out.
