Calcium and vitamin D!!!! Leg pain and numbness is a major warning sign of calcium deficiency which happens after thyroid surgery (because of the parathyroids). You need to be taking calcium with vitamin D every day (spaced 4 hours away from your Synthroid). My doctor has me on 3x the RDA.
Call your doctor's office ASAP and have them run calcium levels.
