Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
You should visit your surgeon for proper assessment. Non cancerous nodule , if appear cold on thyroid scan , needs surgical removal.
maintain proper follow up with your surgeon
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
