Experiences with

Parathyroidectomy

I had a parathyroidectomy following which calcium levels returned to normal in blood. My surgeon told me that the operation should also halt my osteoporosis. Has anyone else had this advice given to them?

I am booked in for a Parathyroidectomy and I just wondered whether my APS, as an autoimmune disease, could have had something to do with parathyroid condition? Thank you.

I’m transplanted and had a parathyroidectomy but still high calcium . The mimpara makes me very nauseous but it’s the only thing they’ve offered me. Has anyone had extremely itchy skin with high calcium. Any input welcome Tina

I woke up with excruciating pain after a parathyroidectomy in my back (trapezius-muscles) and shoulders in 2021 and has never recovered after that. My muscles capsuled me in like an armor.

Hi Everyone I had a parathyroidectomy in January 2023 which resulted in me being hypothyroid (TSH 22.) I was put on 50mg levo which following quarterly blood tests was increased to 75mg in May and 100 mg in November. My blood test last week finally saw my TSH in normal range.

I am wondering if anyone who reads this had a parathyroidectomy following a thyroidectomy? It would be interesting to do a straw poll (or preferably someone research) to see if thyroidectomy and hyperparathyroidism are connected or if hypo or hyper thyroidism and hyperparathyroidism are.

Hi, I had a parathyroidectomy in January. Post op blood test in February had my TSH at 22.64 mU/L (range 0.35-5.5) & my T4 10.7 pmol/L (range 10.5-21.0) I was put on 50mg levothyroxine & retested in May.

I had a thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy of two glands on 3/2/24. They found papillary cancer, tall cell variant. The cancer doctor says I’ll live to be 90… BTW the cancer was found by accident, as was the osteoporosis… all because I started taking prednisone for PMR. Weird but true!

On 5/15/23, HS-CRP was down to 21.1, nowhere near 7.3 before my thyroidectomy/ parathyroidectomy but I felt BETTER. Today is Day 27 of 12.5, I am still not symptom free: pain in shoulders, and intense fatigue. I am careful to not overdue physically and mentally.

A known cause of osteoporosis I had a parathyroidectomy in June 2021 and began to take a calcium supplement ( if I didn't get 1200mg from my diet ) boron, vit d3 vit k and magnesium.

I have done reformer Pilates for 14 years but after my parathyroidectomy and partial thyroidectomy I lost most of the strength I’d built up and had a lot of joint pain.

I have a thyroid problem sparked off by thyroiditis following parathyroidectomy then ending up with hypothyroidism.

I had no problem with thyroid before my parathyroidectomy surgery 8 months ago. Six days after surgery I developed hyperthyroidism thyroid didn’t like being handled. This was resolved by beta blocker. However by September I was having some niggly symptoms.

Hi long story short . My partner gave her lift to and from surgery . Nhs England by the way Left her at waiting room . He Had a coffee . Then about an hour and half maximum . Collected her . No incision on neck . I thought was through neck only and would be a general aneasthetic and then 1 hour in

After limited parathyroidectomy My pth is still 1500 but calcium reduced to 7.2 What should i do now?

Hi, I’ve had repeat blood test this week, showing elevated TSH with T4 and T3 results in range. TSH results are 18.03 and 17.17. Range ref 0.35-4.94 ulU/ml T4 result 10.5 Range ref 4.87-11.72 ug/dl T3 result 0.7 Range ref 0.58-1.59 ng/ml PTH result 41.2 Range ref 15-65 pg/ml I’m seeing an endocrinologist

However, since the parathyroidectomy, coupled with shortly after all these medications, she is feeling catastrophic.

Has anyone had a parathyroidectomy? I had one a week ago. Just looking to see what other people's experience has been.

What is parathyroid atotransplantation? Why it is needed? Is removing 3.5 of 4 gland not enough? Share if anyone had that sergery.. Is there any problem with the hand after sergery?

I am scheduled to have parathyroid surgery. I am on W&W for 1-1/2 years. WBC at 18.40 and Lymph #12.44. Very nervous about infection, time of healing. Any advice/info anyone has would be very appreciated.
