I had this condition 2 years ago. My doctor had been monitoring my blood calcium levels for several years. I learned later that this should never be ignored. I began experiencing mini strokes. Surgery to remove my parathyroid was done by outpatient surgery. No complications,small scar. I had this condition for a long time and had actually forgotten what it felt like not to hurt all over, even my fingers and toes, and not to have psychotic feelings. I encourage you to have the surgery a.s.a.p. I had no signs of malignancy. Good Luck.
