What Does This Blood Report Indicate?
I am on Naturthroid 81.25 mg. Was just tested. Bloodwork was: TSH 1.58 Free T4 .8 and Free T3 2.2. I also have undergone 2 neck surgeries with fusion and a low back laminectomy L4-S1. My MRI shows there is no longer any nerve compression. I am still having numbing and tingling in arms,hands, legs and feet. Can any of this nerve problem be related to my thyroid? Thank you, Kathy DAiley

Hello welcome to the health care magic
Tingling and numbness yes can be caused by hypothyroidism
But your tsh value is within limit, so it might not be the cause
Continue prescribed medication for thyroid
Nerve compression also not possibility as MRI normal
If needed B12 deficiency, liver profile, kidney profile, diabetes, smoking,alcohol can be ruled out as other causes of tingling and numbness
Take care
Hope this will help you
