Numbness & tingling hands and feet

[melaniec 0]

I have kaiser...so I called the advice nurse and she was sooooo not helpful. Tried telling me it was a neck injury from when I was rearended 4 months ago and that I should take motrin.

I called my surgeon first thing this morn and he called back right away and sent me for labs. He said he thinks it's low Calcium. Should hear from him tommorrow.

I was going to suggest it was a calcium issue too. I had a thyroidectomy in 2009 and they had to 're-plant' my parathyroid and part of the problem with it is your PT regulates calcium. It was the most horrific tingling in my hands and feet - to the point that i couldnt concentrate enough to pee (tmi) when i sat down. LOL Thankfully my PT recovered and i just supplemented for a few months while it healed.

Hope you are feeling better!
