What Causes Increasing Cartilage Of Neck In Fibromyalgia Patient?
Hello! I am a 46 year old female. Over the past several years I have noticed that my neck cartilage seems to getting larger as I age. Now I notice that my Adams Apple area is larger with more a bulge on the left side. No pain. I am a Fibromyalgia sufferer if that means anything! Should I be concerned. I have had Thyroid bloodwork as recently as about 5 months ago.

Hello,
The fibromyalgia is associated with alternation in chemicals in body. The change in thickness in cartilage can be a comparative issue it can appear to you due to age related comparative decrease in muscle mass.
There is no relation between fibromyalgia and this.If it continue to trouble yo then it will be better to have a complete clinical examination for any issues.

Take care
