I have a swollen lump in my throat. It's a bit sore. It does make swallowing difficult and I do lose my voice quite frequently because of it.
My self-diagnosis is Rheumatoid Arthritis of the cricoarytenoid joint - not the most common of problems. I had similar symptoms a couple of years ago - although less severe - and my rheumatologist mumbled "maybe" when I asked if it was an RA issue.
I finally get around to seeing my GP who thinks it's a thyroid problem and I have a blood test booked next week. If it is my thyroid, does this mean I definitley have some sort of thyroid problem?
