See your Dr.: A thyroid issue is easy to diagnose with some lab tests. It is also easy to correct with medication. Tingling sensations in your hand can also be neurological. Talk to your Dr about your Thyroid concerns and for a complete neurological exam.

If hypothyroidism: Thyroid issues can result in constipation as you describe, but also can cause peripheral nerve problems. The tingling in the hand could represent carpal tunnel syndrome, and the left thigh may illustrate presence of meralgia paresthetica (lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh). Creating a normal thyroid status is likely to correct all of this. But, make sure this is the correct diagnosis
