3. In 1981, I was experiencing a cough which remained till 1990 with occasionally getting relived after taking some medicines from a doctor. 

4. In 1990, I got a fever which lasted for about 20 days and after taking some medicines froma doctors it was subsided later on. 

5. Beginning from 1998 I was also having sciatica symptoms which persisted till 2005 and it was relived by taking some homeopathic medicines.

 7. While continuing my treatment, 3 more medicines were added [prescription added]. 2 days after starting these 3 new medicines, I have started feeling certain physical problems and difficulty in walking. Although I am thinking that I am supposed to get treatment for my nerves but these are not the medicines given for nerve problem. 

8. I experience occasionally indigestion and difficulty in sleeping. I feel heaviness on my legs right after getting up from the bed in the morning associated with a difficulty in walking

57 Year Old female with goiter and thyrotoxicosis

This 57 year olf lafy presented with neck swelling, anxiety and tremor. Her medical information is attached below: We need to take a decision on this lady. To operate or not to operate. Now that our clinical suspicions of thyroticosis have been proved and malignancy not proved (not disproved either) what would be the next best step? Medical management for her thyrotoxicosis or still get an excision biopsy with sub total thyroidectomy (and subtotal thyroidectomy other than disproving malignancy will also become treatment for her hyperthyroidism). So which one should we prefer (if the family has no reservations from their side)?
