Suggest Treatment For Vocal Cord Paralysis Along With Hypo And Hyperthyroidism

I had cervical spine surgery last year. The mri noted a dimunitive thyroid gland with a nodule in the left lobe, measuring 8mm. Should I consult a thyroid specialist, or wait it out? I should mention that in my pre op testing, they found vocal cord paralysis. I am 55 years old, with a history of both hyper and hypo thyroidism. I currently take synthroid.
