here you need to understand if there is a problem at spinal disc level then there will be pain at your neck level and there could be radiating pain to your hands.when you go for spinal decompression surgery it will relieve your pain which is at neck level to your hands. there might be a possibility of light relief of pain even at your thyroid gland but you should understand one more thing if you have any lesion or lump or a swelling at thyroid gland then you need to get it evaluate properly and do the treatment according to that for this i suggest you should consult a doctor and go for testing. And do the treatment as per the report as well what ever the specialist advise. remember Early detection and the treatment is much better than the cure. Thank you
