i was told i haf graves diease but the first doctor did't want to do anything because of my mitro valve.  which have been giving me problems.  so i went to another doctor got about the same.  so at this point i am some what confuse at what steps i need to take now.  from my understanding the graves is is making my mitr vavle act up.

i have been in a lot of pain as well discomfort. they say my goiter is enlarged.  but iam stumped

at this point i don't know what to do.  i  was dignosed with mitro when iwas 16  they put me on beta blocker.  because of the pain i have.  and i have gotten used to the pain evey now and then but lately it as gotten worse.  
so was wondering at should possible be my next move.

I would be seeing your Cardiologist and also be refferred to an Endocrinologist.
I have Mitral Valve and Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation and a heart murmur from birth.
Graves made my heart problems worse and you need to get on ATDS so that you dont go into thyroid storm (fibrillations) as it can be very dangerous.
PLEASE see your Cardio asap and also tell your Doctor to start you on antithyroid medications. Dont ignore the early warning signs as this disease can very quickly get out of control and make you very sick.
