What Causes Pain And Swelling Around The Throat?
I m having some pain/discomfort on the outside of my throat..right above my voice box. No sore throat, haven t been sick. But its quite uncomfortable...almost feels like someone karate chopped my esophagus. My thyroid is slightly swollen (I have nodules), FNA a few months ago was negative. This just started today and is quite annoying.

Hello,
The pain and swelling around the throat with no sore throat is related to problems with swollen thyroid you have been diagnosed so far.
I highly recommend consulting with an endocrinologist as soon as possible as we should re-evaluate your thyroid status although you already checked a few months ago.
Do not neglect it. Consult immediately with endocrinologist first.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
