3 weeks post op having tingling
Posted , 1 user is following.
Three weeks ago I had a parathyroidectomy. We could only fill 1 prescription for calcium, because pharmacy didn't have the calcitral on hand.
The following day after surgery I felt great! My son got the calcitral filled and started taking the regimen of pills! Over 3600 mg of calcium a day!
By day 4, I started feeling pain in my right wrist and both ankles. My right foot started to swell with inflammation. I stopped taking the first script and left a message with the doctor office. No relief and no call from the doctor! Pain was still increasing!
I stopped taking the calcitral altogether!. The office called get bloodwork STAT thru the E.R. I get the bloodwork results, my calcium and PTH is perfect and in normal range. I was told to keep taking the scripts and I said I haven't been for a couple of days.
Fast forward to this morning, 3 weeks post op and now I am feeling numbness and tingly in my right hand, my right knee to my foot and my lip started. Not to mention almost had got into a full blown charley horse in my (you guessed it!) my right calf! Oh, by the way, my right foot inflammation has gone down significantly, today!
Im going to send a message to my surgeon a-gain and see what he suggests!
Anyone ever experience this!!??
