Im 17 years old and just had a full thyroidectomy on the 15th of august. the last few days my hand feet ankles and face has been swelling up on me. I have thyroid cancer and am on a low iodine diet because i am waiting for my I131 (radioactive iodine treatments) and cant have iodine. I am also not taking my thyroid replacement pills because they are not allowing me to take them until after the treatment(s). is this normal, should i call my doctor, is it even sound related? it happens at about 7 everynight and i cant hardly walk due to swelling in my ankles. Does anyone have advice. i can give more info if you need it just ask I will do anything to know some sort of answer. my doctors have taken vacation and i dont know what to expect. thanks so much.!
