[|AI|]  You must have undergone total thyroidectomy with bilateral level II, III, IV clearance and bilateral central compartment clearance. The standard protocol after that is, after six weeks of surgery, thyroid scan, ablation of any remnant thyroid tissue with radio iodine. Also, you need to check you serum calcium levels also. After this surgery you need to take replacement for thyroid hormone for life. The dose of Chat Doctor.  It takes some time to adjust dose but once adjusted is nearly constant and takes care of symptoms. The abnormal sensation you are having can be because of the damage to cutaneous nerve supply which usually occurs as we raise flaps during surgery. It usually gets fine after some time. Another reason for tingling sensation can be low calcium levels but usually is over face. So, wait for some time, do neck and shoulder exercises regularly, and you should be fine in some time. Take care.
