Thyroid nodule

2017-05-01 15:01:42
I have had a mixed signal thyroid nodule for about 5 years. This past couple of weeks I have noticed more swelling than usual in my neck, it goes from where the nodule is, to by my jaw area. Today, I feel the lump (it is pretty big) and its hard! I dont have health insurance, or i would have made an appointment. Should I be overly concerned?
