Hello good afternoon, In general Thyroidectomy doesn't cause any issues in walking. As she underwent surgery for her spine , under proper guidance from physiotherapist will help her Thank you

Thyroidectomy does not cause walking problem . The metastatic lesion to vertebrae and surgery can cause difficulty in walking . Physiotherapy is advised

Slightly unclear from your question. ***If there is cancer spread to the spine and that is affecting the nerves in the spine (spinal cord), then you need to find out from the doctors if she will need *steroids OR *Radiotherapy to the spine OR *Surgery on the spine to decompress And then Physiotherapy ***f there is no cancer spread to the spine, the doctors will check *blood tests for CBP, electrolytes, calcium, phosphate and infection markers (as they can cause overall weakness affecting walking. We call it Acute Deconditioning) *If Physiotherapy will help All the best. WWW.JGSR-HEALTH-EDUCATION.IN

Thyroidectomy does not cause walking problem, but vertebral surgery can cause it. Consult a neurophysician physically and then go for physiotherapy.

You didn't mention how many days or months ago she underwent Spine surgery. It is the spinal surgery which is preventing her from walking. Please let the operating surgeon decide when your aunt should start standing or walking.

No

ITS DUE TO SPINE SURGERY

Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician (Ex Govt Medical Officer at RML Hospital, New Delhi), and your case has been allotted to me. Thank you for sharing the details. I understand your concern about your aunt’s ability to walk after surgery. Important point to understand Thyroidectomy itself does NOT cause walking problems. Removal of the thyroid gland usually affects hormone levels, but it does not affect the legs or ability to walk. Why she may not be able to walk now In your aunt’s case, the likely reason is the spine lesion and the spinal surgery on the vertebra, not the thyroid surgery. Possible reasons include: • Weakness due to spinal cord compression before surgery • Nerve recovery time after spine surgery • Post operative pain or muscle weakness • Need for physiotherapy and rehabilitation How long recovery may take Recovery after spinal surgery varies depending on: • Degree of nerve involvement before surgery • Type of spinal operation performed • Age and overall health Some patients start improving in 2 to 4 weeks, while in others it may take several weeks to a few months with physiotherapy. What is important now • Follow the spine surgeon’s rehabilitation advice • Start physiotherapy as recommended • Ensure proper nutrition and thyroid hormone replacement after thyroidectomy Gradual improvement in leg strength is expected as nerves recover. When to inform the doctor urgently • If there is complete loss of movement or sensation in legs • If there is loss of bladder or bowel control • If weakness is worsening instead of improving Recovery after spinal surgery can take time, so patience and regular rehabilitation are very important. For personalised guidance or report review, you can reach out to me on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven. Wishing your aunt a smooth recovery. Dr. Romain Rajan General Physician

Spine metastasis is complication of follicular carcinoma, the weakness is due to the spine surgery, for knowing how much damage is there we need to for MRI . Thyroidectomy doesn't cause the walking problem, since the doctor must prescribed the thyroxine supplement.. it's issue with spine , kindly consult the operating surgeon.

Thyroidectomy itself does not cause difficulty in walking because the thyroid gland is in the neck and does not control leg movement. However, since your aunt also had surgery for a spinal lesion in the vertebra, the walking difficulty is much more likely related to the spine surgery or the effect of the tumor on the spinal cord or nerves. This can happen in cases of **Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma when it spreads to bone, especially the spine. After spinal surgery, temporary weakness, nerve irritation, or muscle deconditioning can cause difficulty standing or walking.

Your aunt’s recovery depends on many details exact type of spine surgery, any nerve damage from the lesion, her age, overall health, cancer status, and pre-surgery walking ability Please speak urgently with her surgeon, oncologist, or physiotherapist for her specific case. They know the details and can assess if extra tests, rehab, or adjustments are needed. Inability to stand/walk 15 days after spine surgery should be evaluated by her medical team right away.

Do consult with ent specialist

Need a few more details please consult for further evaluation and treatment

Thyroidectomy does not cause walking problems. The difficulty walking is most likely due to the spine lesion (metastasis) from Follicular thyroid carcinoma, which can compress spinal nerves. Recovery: Standing: 1–2 weeks Walking with support: 2–6 weeks Full recovery: may take a few months, depending on nerve recovery.

the likely reason is the spine lesion in vertebra (probably L1–L3) due to metastasis from follicular thyroid carcinoma. When cancer spreads to the spine, it can cause weakness in legs,Pain in back,Difficulty standing or walking,Nerve compression that is why spine surgery was done.

Can help you, kindly consult and provide detailed history for proper diagnosis and further management

Nothing as such Recovery will take time
