I was put on Hydrocortizone 20 mg in morning and 10 mg at night and they uped my thyroid med to 50mg. Since then I am still exper. problems, i do have muilty goiter and nodule, i goiter they beleive is solid according to the uptake, on my biopsy they did not get waht they need.
After a week out of the hospital i have have severe sciatic nerve problems and neuropathy like issues in my body, numbness in feet, lower leg, hands and pain in the back of my neck. I been to the orthapedics 4 times and they seem to want to blame it on my medical issues although on my MRI facet joint disease and disc degeneration was found on the lumbar area. I can hardley walk over 15 minutes as my leg goes into severe pain.
Does all this have to do with the thyroid or Adrenal problem, my endcur said i shouldnt be having any problems with them because i am on the hormone replacement for them, however i did get a second opinion from a internal doc that also takes care of thyroids and she suggest i just have the left lobe taken out and test and if the solid goiter is malig then they will just take it all out, is this the right thing to do? And are these NEUROPATHY problems due to this? I have also been getting pain under my arms as of the last 2 weeks. I hope you can help me here i have not been the same mother to my children since and been on several meds that i would love to just stop taking, I am on Nuerotin300mg, Flexeral 10mg, xanax 5mg as needed, levothyroxine 50mg and hydrocortizoe 20 mg morn. 10 mg even. Thank You
