PARATHYROID SURGERY AFTERMATH PROBLEMS

My mom had surgery done where they removed all 4 parathyroids as well as a nodule.Since her surgery she has been having a lot of problems.She has had numbness/tingling since surgery and it is getting worse .She has gotten to the point where she is chewing the inside of her mouth without even knowing it.Doctors are being of no help and my mom is VERY frustrated as would anyone else in her shoes.She was told before surgery that she was going to feel 100 times better after the surgery and that she was going to be cured of her thyroid disease. Everywhere we look it states that all 4 parathyroids are NOT suppose to be removed,her were all removed and apparently they put new ones in ????? I have never even heard of that being done !!?? So they removed all of her parathyroid glands and as well a nodule and then replaced 2 of her parathyroids with new ones ?????? If anyone has any info on this or has had it done themselves please send me any info you have. Thank you Smile

Where are you from and where did your mom have her surgery done. I have had two parathyroid surgeries and in need of another as I have hyperplacia. Seems I can't find anyone expert enough to do anything but remove all the glands. I would love to talk with you more.
