This one is the most obvious one. The most common place to feel thyroid pain is right at the front of your neck, just below the Adam’s apple. (more prominent in men) This is exactly where your thyroid gland sits, hence the pain. You may notice tenderness, soreness, or a sharp pain in this area, like a sore throat. Conditions like thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid), infections, or thyroid nodules can cause the gland to swell and hurt. Along with these, you might also notice swelling or a lump in your neck, difficulty swallowing (pins and needles), or a feeling of fullness in the throat.
