3 months after thyroidectomy complications?
It's been three months after the removal of my whole right thyroid, and I am experiencing stiffness and pain under my right jaw. When I look up it hurts, and even when I don't move I can feel there is something wrong around that area. When I press on it it hurts as well to. It feels like I might have slept on it wrong, and I hope that's what it is, but I have a bad feeling it is something more sever. Is there anyone out there who has suffered the same experience i am going through. I just want to know should I make an appointment or is it just the healing process? I really don't want to see my surgone about this because they're mean, and I don't feel like looking for another doctor. UPMC employees are hostile.

Because your doctor is mean? Okay then.
If you're having pain, you need to see the doctor that removed it. You could be having some sort of serious post-op complication and you need to be checked.
I honestly doubt that your surgeon is so "mean" that you can't handle being seen, plus its very important that you do if you're having that degree of pain this long after your thyroid removal.
