So in my last post I updated with all the numbers and medical things about me, here.
I just briefly want to explain, a parathyroid is good for regulating the calcium in the body, my calcium level in my bloodstream is extremely high, which basically in laymans terms, the blood is sucking out of my bones and into the blood stream. I'm explaining this because in the next paragraph, my knee connection to the parathyroid is told.
Basically this week was just insane with doctors..
I saw a endocrinologist on the 5th of june, he had me come back the next day on the 6th and do an ultrasound, he saw two suspicious things on it, so he sent me to a surgeon. on the 7th, which was actually my birthday, I saw the orthopedic, who said I have a mass in my knee. I have also developed osteoarthritis. I'm 37 and I have arthritis. It's all connected to the parathyroid though. I have to do another MRI and a CT with contrast on my knee, but I'm dealing with the parathyroid first. I had an appointment the 8th with a surgeon, and I'm scheduled for parathyroidectomy on June 15th, next Friday.
I really hope that the parathyroid removal will help with the knee stuff, otherwise I have a mass of some sort in the knee that may have to be biopsied depending on what the future MRI/CT scan says.
My diet and exercise has been postponed a week or two, not really the diet so much as the exercise. I'm going to be having my first surgery ever in a few days, I can't figure out if I'm nervous or excited. I'm just ready to be done with this, I'm ready to feel better.
