How bad is my scar? (4 days post TT)
How bad is this scar?
It feels quite long and irregular in shape.
And so low! It’s on my collar bones.
This is day 4 since my TT

Low calcium in first days after TT, how serious is this?
So I had my TT on Friday and woke up feeling immediately better!! (just like so many here have said)
But.. in the hours after the surgery, I started getting pins and needles, and indeed, my calcium started slowly dropping (and my magnesium). They did say that all my para thyroids were intact and looked good. I’m a bit confused why this is happening..
It continued to get worse so i ended up going to the ER for a calcium/magnesium IV just now, which made me feel a lot better
How normal is it for your calcium to get weird post TT? How many of you had this? How long did it last? How big is the likelihood that it’s temporary? I’m getting worried..
Ps: low calcium feels freaky.. really did not enjoy that
