What Does Tingling Sensation In The Hands And Feet Indicate?

I will get once in a while where i get tingling in my hands and feet and also my thumbs will kind of turn in towards my palms and I can t straighten for hours. Any idea what would cause this? I did have my thyroid taken out a few years ago, but I take my synthroid (150mg daily).
