I honestly don’t know why I have the numbness right now. I read that it could be from the colloid cyst but the neurologist doesn’t believe that is the case. I have to do 6 weeks of physical therapy before my insurance company will approve another MRI of my neck. The neurologist will be checking for Chiari Malformation. As of right now, that is all I know. I don’t have any old fillings. I’ve been having symptoms of thyroid issues for the past 10 years but it didn’t show up on my bloodwork until 2 years ago when I was diagnosed finally. I forgot to mention that I also have had tachycardia for the last 5 years. My resting heart rate is in the 130’s and I’m constantly fatigued. I am on diltiazem to control it but it is never below 110. I have also had chronic sinusitis for the last 10 years and have lost my sense of smell completely. I see my endocrinologist for the hormone issues on November 5. Hopefully will get some answers.

@mandy79c Is your physical therapist working on your neck? I ask that because I know that my heart rate gets faster when my neck is tight. I am not on any heart medication and also have allergies and asthma that affect heart rate if I am congested. I am always trying to stretch out tight muscles. I'm a surgical patient with a C5/C6 fusion, and I also have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome that makes my neck and shoulders tight which is worse on one side.
