Can Thyroidectomy Be Concern Arthritis?
I had a partial thyroidectomy last week because of a goiter. I have osteoarthritis in the neck and I believe I have pinched nerves in the back of my neck. I will be going to see an orthopedic doctor next week, but wanted to know if the surgery will agitate the arthritis. Sitting for long periods of time cause my neck to lock up and I can t move it.
