I had my thyroid removed in Dec. 1999. I didn't require much pain medication after the surgery, my neck just felt a little tight but I wasn't in extreme pain. It was removed b/c it was cancerous so I req'd a radiation drink in Feb. 2000 to kill off any remaining cells. Everything went well and I was perfectly fine. I'm now taking a thyroid hormone replacement (1 pill/day) and seeing a Thyroid Specialist every six mos. to monitor my blood work to make sure everything is ok.
