Could Pain Underneath Rib Cage And Arms Be A Result Of Having Had A Thyroidectomy?
I am having a sharp pain in a very small area at the front of where my arm meets my trunk, upper chest. Feels like mildly hardened lymph nodes. A few days ago, I felt a soreness underneath my right ribcage above the liver. I ve gained about 6 pounds in 10 days and feel very tired when I wake up in the mornings, with sore achilles tendons even though they are not sore the night before. I had a total thyroidectomy a year and a half ago and am going in for a full body scan in 3 months. Can this be related since the thyroid cancer also showed up in a few lymph nodes near the thyroid when I got the biopsy after the thyroidectomy? Or something else?

Dear user, hi! sorry to hear about you. with great regret i am telling you that all your problems are related to thyroid cancer itself. lymph nodes have been involved and generalized weakness and bone pain and ligament soreness is related to multivitamin deficiency and calcium and vitamin deficiency. Regards!
