Did they also rule out lung issues?

The pain is still mainly on the left side just under the ribs

When you say under the ribs do you mean in the belly area or do you mean in your lung area?

but also spreads across the chest and back area. There has been a little heartburn and pain under the left arm in the lymph area.

Have lymph issues been ruled out? Have you had unusual counts of lymphocytes or fevers?

CT Scan found 4.3 cm nodule on left side of my Thyroid.

Have you had any Thyroid blood tests yet?

Nodule was found to be benign. Along with the pain I am having I have lost about 15 lb over the last four weeks and have also had an increase in the number of bowel movements.

Have you had any bowel tests done in the past such as colonoscopy? Have you changed eating habits recently? How many bowel movements do you have a day and is it pure liquid, loose or formed?


My voice has started to become hoarse but not on a regular basis.

Has anyone looked down your throat with a mirror or an endoscopy?

Any thoughts if I should continue to follow the Thyroid path or should I look for other paths to pursue? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
