For those who have an enlarged thyroid, do you feel a lump in your throat and esophagus? Like something is stuck.

I'm curious, is there any test besides an ultrasound to check if the thyroid is enlarged?

I have two centimeter-sized fibroids. Sometimes I feel like there's a piece of something stuck. It's annoying..

It wasn't like this when I got bigger. It's kind of the same now (though not as much as when I was 13), I still don't have that feeling. Even though it's quite prominent in front

Tatyana They aren't taking a biopsy of the nodules because there are too many and they've all merged together, so they don't know where to stick the needle. In Moscow, at Pirogovka, they said it looks like pseudonodules, but that doesn't really help me. You can't see it normally, but it bulges out when I swallow or raise my voice.

I have several nodules, one about 3 cm, two 2x2.5 cm, two 1x2 cm, another 1x1 cm in a different lobe, and some tiny ones.
If it weren't for my TSH being slightly elevated during pregnancy at 9 weeks – and "elevated" is a strong word, the normal range is up to 2.5 and mine was 2.8 at the clinic – I wouldn't have even known.
It wasn't causing any discomfort.

Yes, that happens, but I have a large knot that grows from time to time.
