phrenic nerve damage after thyroid surgery
My husband had half of his thyroid removed along with a 3in. non cancerous nodule removed 16 days ago. On the 13th day he started having abdominal pain. Then the pain started increases when he takes a deep breath. Now he is coughing and having hiccups. If his phrenic nerve was damaged during surgery, wouldn't it have shown up sooner?
