numbnes and tingling

[sanc4321]

i  had a total thyroidectomy almost 3 months ago and have been experiencing increase numbness and tingling on both hands and lately both feet. My calcium level has been normal never low, i am taking calcium 600mg with 400 IU vit D once a day, my endo has increased it to 3x/day awaiting vit d 25-hydroxy result, ....is this related to my vit. d ?...i've read that u can have a normal calcium level but if your vit. d is defficient that can cause the numbenss and tingling......any thought, anyone, help!

i have posted my recent lab results, i've heard about B12 deff, i might asked my endo to have it checked too, i've also read to chek the ionized calcium level not just the serum?
Thanks.

yes i am taking levoxyl 137mcg daily, my recent labs done last wednesday 4/13 are:
PTH INTACT 18 (12-88), ...CALCIUM SERUM 9.0 (8.9-10.3), the vit D 25 hydroxy is still pending,.....on feb 24 TSH 0.03 (0.34-5.60), THYROXINE 1.93 (0.60-1.60) after these my levoxyl was decreased from 150 to 137mcg a day. I noticed the numbness and tingling started a month after the TT, not sure if its related to change/decrease in my meds, started with calcium 1 gm 2x/day to 600mg with vit D 2/x a day to once a day and now because of the numbness and tingling my endo increased it back to 2x/day.
Im thinking maybe im not getting enough vit D or maybe i shld have my B12 checked too?
Thanks.

Do you have current thyroid test results available, that you could post, so we can see where your levels lie?  Please post results, along with the lab's reference ranges, since these vary from lab to lab.

In addition, have you  had vitamin B12 levels tested?  Deficiency in this can cause numbing/tingling in the hands and feet.

As a start to answering your questions, are you taking any thyroid meds?  If so, what kind and how much daily?  Have you had any recent thyroid tests since the TT?  If so, please post results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.
