I have bad arthritis. Osteoarthritis and dish. I have had one parathyroid out. What was nice is that within a fairly short period of time I lost 25 pounds after having a single parathyroid taken out. But my feet do still hurt and my toes crack. Definitely have arthritis in my feet and I have bone spurs on the bottom of both heels and on the back of both heels.
I wish you luck with the parathyroid surgery. Hopefully you have a skilled surgeon as I did. And I still have my parathyroid levels along with other bloodwork every three months. But I feel so much better , little less tired, since the parathyroid came out I kept telling people for the longest time that something was really wrong and finally, I said to my doctor my calcium level is elevated. He said it’s not that high. I pushed the situation and that triggered him to do a parathyroid hormone level. It was elevated. So he sent me to the endocrinologist and I was already mild diabetic. So I see endocrinology for both. Make sure you let us know how you’re doing. 🙏

Ty Dishpan, I appreciate your comment I'm very nervous having the operation but it will be worth it if I get a good results 😉. How was the insertion on the throat and is the pain after surgery really bad 😔 I read that some patients have a horse voice but how long for healing post surgery.
