Thanks a lot Doctor. I have got the following tests done
1. ATG 17.82
2. Anti TPO 19
3. Thyroid scan report findings: Both the lobes of thyroid gland reveal severely reduced inhomogeneous radiotracer concentration by parenchyma.
99mTc pertechnetate uptake at 20mins is less than 0.1% (0.3-3.38%)

I have also attached the same reports for your review.

Coming back to my health, I still have pain in my entire anterior neck region and I also feel very weak and feverish with no temperature on the thermometer.
In addition, I have been suffering from mild to severe headache over the last two weeks along with pain in the thyroid region over the same duration.

Seeking your advice.
Thanks.
