Parathyroid problem??

My current PTH is 101, calcium is 8.8 and vitamin D is 27.  I've been fighting this battle for over a year.  I had all all of my right side and half of the left side of my thyroid removed and 1 parathyroid removed in 2000.  my calcium is never been more than 9.7.  Should I push for a scan?

Yes I am.  Ive just been upped to 2400 units a day.  This is very frustrating.  I also have malabsorption & iron dificiency but I don't know if any of it ties together as 1 problem.  I wonder it they do.  Thanks for the imput.
