Thyroid Problems/Thyroid Cyst

Expert: Robert Arnone, DC - 4/6/2009


Question
My sister-in-law was recently diagnosed as having a thyroid cyst.  The ENG doctor she saw told her it was "nothing to worry about."  He did not recommend a biopsy.  BUT, for several weeks she frequently speaks with a very hoarse voice, so obviously this cyst is causing some problems with her vocal cords. I'd appreciate your advice, as I'm urging her to get another opinion.  THANKS!!

Answer
Alice,
Yes she should certainly get another opinion to be sure about this. Another person that may be able to help her as well is an Upper Cervical Specific Doctor.  This type of doctor will examine her spine in the neck area and see if there may be something there that may be contributing to her problem.
At the very least she should have this looked into further, because it is obvious that she is having health problems and the longer that she waits, the more destruction sets in and the harder it is to get well.
Yours in Best Health,

I can answer any questions regarding Thyroid Trouble either Hypo or Hyper. I can also explain to you how this may have happened to you and more importantly how you can get well.

Experience

I have helped many women and some men with Thyroid Conditions. Most of them were able to get completely off of the harmful medications that weren't correcting the cause of their problem anyway. If all of these people were able to get well, then why not you too? I may be able to find you a qualified Upper Cervical Specific Doctor in your area to help locate and correct the cause.
