I felt pretty normal yesterday, still not doing much. Today my throat and neck pain is much less but I’ve felt high as a kite all day. I’m taking prescribed Os-Cal twice a day, eating yogurt and drinking milk. Could this still be from low calcium? Follow-up is on June 12.
My surgery was yesterday at the Center for Advanced Medicine at Barnes/ Washington University in St Louis where I live. I had a wonderful experience there. Dr Olson removed the one para he saw as enlarged on the ultrasound a few weeks ago, PTH from ankle blood draw dropped to 16 and second one was down to 12 so he didn’t need to search for other bad ones. Surgery lasted about 1.5 hours. I haven’t seen picture or biopsy results yet.
Biggest result is that my years long and worsening hip and low back pain were gone when I woke up and still hasn’t returned 24 hours later!
I’m on Os-Cal twice a day and taking Tylenol every 6 hours for pain, plus icing the incision.
Don’t be afraid of this surgery. My next hope is for weight loss. I’ve been on Zepbound for 19 months but completely stalled 6 months ago. The hope is that the inflammation will leave soon and I can continue to my goal in 13 lbs.
