What kind of blood test did you have? Did the doctor just do a TSH? If so that is not enough. You need to have your Ft4 and Ft3 checked. Also if you have a goiter you may be Iodine defincent. Check out the following web site.

it could be something else that hurts in that area
i guess there is nothing can be done unless it shows up something
might go back and get it checked out in afew months again
You need to see an endocrinologist. There are a number of blood tests to detect thyroid disease and your doc may be missing a crucial one. In light of the goiter you say you have, you should at least be getting a thyroid scan or ultrasound as well. There's more to diagnosing a thyroid disorder than just blood tests.
