Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Your pain is mostly due to fibrosis seen after thyroid surgery. Thyroid surgery once healed, produce fibrosis in neck. And this can give pain in neck.  So take painkiller for this. Swelling in the neck is mostly due to lymphatic spread of papillary thyroid cancer. So better to get done CT neck to rule out metastatic involvement of lymph nodes. If they are metastatic then you may need further chemotherapy and radiotherapy. So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these.
