Hi

Good to hear you have had the all clear. Its often only after thyroid problems that we discover how important a job it performs. I have not heard of leg problems being a side effect but agree that a call to your CNS sounds like a good idea. Hopefully your pains ease and your concerns can be addressed.

Thank-you guys, 

I called my consultant today, and he’s referred me for another blood test, they are querying a calcium deficiency. Let’s hope it’s all okay! 

Thankyou for your reply’s guys! Means a lot x

Hi . Just had a thought - I had a Sub-Total Thyroidectomy in 2002 after developing Hyperthyroidism. I was just about to be discharged after my op when I felt very strange, a bit like going down swiftly in a lift. They had me hooked up to an ECG machine and that all turned out to be due to a calcium deficiency.

Hope you get answers after the blood test.

Could I ask, is this muscle or bone pain?

I had a lot of leg cramps - I sorted them out with Bananas. One a day gets rid of leg cramps for me

I also had bone ache at different times - but that was fixed with Vit D. Vit D deficiency is really common in people with no thyroid. Well worth asking for that to be tested too.

Good luck. 

Great advice but I hate bananas lmao! And it’s bone pain. Thankyou x
