My post thyroidectomy pain is still present, on one side mostly.

Im 2 weeks post op from total thyroidectomy with extra nodes/tissue removed, on one side only. will this tender indented area stay like that, or will the soreness pass at some point? is this normal? my neck under that ear, down/around & below the neckline to the top of one breast is the area involved.

It will take a while for everything to get completely healed, so I'd expect it to be tender/sore for a while.  

If it feels too sore or painful, you should discuss it with your surgeon to make sure everything is as it should be.
