Creaky body, some bone pain - new since thyroidectomy?

Hi. No parathyroid removal or impact at surgery. I did have 2 lymph nodes removed. After surgery I was put on 6000 units of calcium daily (tums). My calcium blood tests were normal.
I have since reduced supplement calcium to about 1000 daily. I hope I get the balance needed in my diet.
But good point about calcium.

Eventually for proper calcium absorption about 500mg of magnesium (chelated if possible) might be added. Also think about adding about 1000 to 5000iu of vitamin D. I certainly can't prescribe, but I know what works for me.
