From your test results, I'd say that your Free T4 is fine.  Your Free T3 could stand to be tweaked into the upper third of its range, or as necessary to relieve hypo symptoms.  Scientific studies have shown Free T3 correlated best with hypo symptoms, while Free T4 and TSH did not correlate at all. However, in view of our symptoms, I would have more immediate concerns with your low ferritin, low B12 and high calcium.  

Numbness/tingling in the extremities can be associated with low B12.  Even though your B12 is within the low end of its range, that is far too low.  I see that you are on B12 supplements, but you can possibly get B12 shots for a while to raise your B12 higher into the range.  Many members find they need to be in the upper third of that range to feel best.  

Your ferritin level is also low, it needs to be closer to mid-range.  Here is some info I found on ferritin.  I don't think the range mentioned is compatible with the one you listed, but the message is clear that ferritin needs to be well up in the range, so supplementation is advised..  

"I've seen iron discussed a bit on this board but not so much about ferritin . I thought you might be interested in what I found. Ferritin levels often begin dropping before serum iron levels become critically low or before full-blown anemia becomes apparent.

Many hypothyroid patients find that having good ferritin levels improves their use of thyroid hormone (their own body's or supplemented). The range of 70-90 is quoted as optimal for hypothyroid patients. Someone on another board asked me if I knew of any research she could show her doctor to support this. He wanted her to stop supplementing iron when she raised her ferritin from 17 to 44.

Here's some of the research I found that suggests a minimal ferritin
range of 50-70 and an optimal range for hypothyroid treatment of 70-90. I have read that in Dr. Gillespie's book, "You're Not Crazy, It's Your Hormones", she advises a ferritin level of around 100. I haven't read her book, so I can't confirm the research basis for her recommendation, but the experience of many hypothyroid patients certainly bear her out."

As for calcium, here is some info on high calcium.  Based on only the test result you listed, I do think you should pursue further testing of the parathyroid function.  At least a PTH test would be in order.

What thyroid medication are you taking and what is the daily dosage?  

If you haven't been tested for Vitamin D, B12, calcium, ferritin, a full iron test panel, Free T3 and Free T4, then I'd urge you to do so now.  If you have any data on these tests, please post results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report.
