Thank you for your thorough explanation. Very informative.

Fantastic Video!!!! I am scheduled for parathyroid surgery at Mayo soon. Unfortunately there was not a lot of contrast after the post processing of the two radioactive tracers. I hope it is just a single one so that I don't end up in a situation where you have to trim an abnormal one to the right size for the right PTH level. Thank you for producing this very informational video on the surgery.

My mom is also scheduled soon at Mayo for a "exploration" surgery. The scans done were not able to determine the overactive parathyroid.

I had a 3.5 gland removal in March of 2021 and it was by far the worst recovery of my life but after a year I was a new person. The bone pain was the first to go and the rest took a while. I did stay in the hospital for quite a while because I was hypo for days after surgery. That was tough.

I was 39 and had years of kidney stones and life was horrible prior to surgery so very grateful

I HAD PARATHYROID SURGERY LAST WEEK BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PARATHYROIDS, POSSIBLY DUE TO A 95% THYROIDECTOMY 35 YRS AGO THAT GREW BACK INTO A GOITER 30 YEARS AGO AND I THINK EVERYTHING IN THERE IS JUST A MESS SO MY PARATHYROIDS FLEW THE COOP🥴

Hello Dr. Larian, My calcium levels range from 10.2 to 10.6. Pth levels range between 100-110 . Vit d is 30. I had terrible fatigue, joint and bone pains, depression, and anxiety. Ive been diagnosed with Sjogren's and likely MCTD autoimmune diseases as well. I'm yet to have a throat ultrasound. I have a constant globus sensation in my throat and dysphagia. Could these symptoms indicate hyperparathyroidism or are related to my autoimmune disorders?

[@adithyaravuri4848]

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation...

Hi 👋 iam 8 weeks post , I was not recommended calcium after my surgery, my numbers have been very good. I am curious does one always need calcium after hyperparathyroid surgery? I've been fine and feel great 🙂

[@commoncore49]

It seems that no questions or inquires are answered! Why?

Can it effect your swallowing ?

Does decompression on nerves from cervical injuries of C3-C7 cause parathyroid? I had a failed ACDF C3-C4 and now have moderate sized central protrusion osteophyte. All my injured cervical area mirrors the symptoms of parathyroid. My kidney, renal and liver are normal. Thank God. I am unfortunately back at prediabetes due to weight gain from chronic inflammation from said injured area. Currently waiting for approval for revision and additional level ACDF. I did some research and I did find C5-C6 is the area of my parathyroid glands. That area is also compromised which again why I have to now have four level ACDF. I thank you in advance for your medical input. I'm haven't found anyone speak of this on any public forums.

High PTH, High Thyrogloblin, Low Vitamin D and normal Calcium Level, but the bone pain and high bp is 10 out of 10 out of control :( Told anxiety 😢

[@karenpeart5997]

The easiest diagnosis is anxiety ,it really makes me angry ,I hope you have everything sorted

[@BellaRosa55]

No, but my GFR kidney levels dropped from 52 to 42! Getting scared 🤕

[@ginamclane6638]

How do they test during surgery if your PTH has always been low or normal?

[@ceciliahilal4984]

Can we have this explanation in Arabic ? We will be very grateful , thanks 🙏

[@danhosmer1401]

Does tagging the parathyroid gland injure it??

[@ceciliahilal4984]

What about after the surgery ? Is possible the patient has any damage for example , can’t speak for long periods or any other issues ? Please advise me because I’m going to have this surgery on March . Thanks

[@JoanPaaske]
