Numb Lips, Hands & Arms
Just my opinion, but when you have a doctor that is unwilling to review your concerns it may be time to seek a second opinion from another doctor if it is possible. Your concerns are valid and deserve to be heard not overlooked....Sometimes a patient can be very sensitive to changes in medication, even small ones. A fresh perspective and review of your case can't hurt. Best of luck to you!0 -
Calcium and New DoctorAlexM said:Calcium?
I'm certainly no expert but after my TT I had mega troubles with my calcium and I had all of those same symptoms. I would have some blood work done to check.
Take Care.
I agree that this could be a calcium issue. Time to get a new doctor. Your height/weight sound proportional, so don't let them pass this off a a weight issue.

It was my calcium level...Hannah1 said:HI Anna, I ve had tingling
HI Anna, I ve had tingling on my fingers 3days after my total thyroidectomy and came out that my calcium
Level was low. Have your Dr check your calcium level.
...I also experienced the numb, tingling sensation in my lips, hands, and arms and it was due to low calcium levels. My experience was severe... the tingling was throughout my entire body and my fingers and toes became drawn into cramping positions. I had to be hospitalized and given calcium infusions. I now have to take six 500mg calcium + D3 tablets, two 0.5mcg Calcitriol tablets and three 500mg magnesium tablets daily to keep my calcium levels balanced. I had a total thyroidectomy on June 5, 2012. I'm currently waiting for my TSH levels to rise enough for my RAI treatment.
Hoping you have found relief by now...
