thyroid and leg pain

I also think leg pain can be related to thyroid issues. I'm hoping others more informed on this forum will weigh in.

Did you ever find out what was causing the leg pain, my wife has had severe leg pain that alternates. Currently she is on Diabetic nerve pain but not diabetic to help with they pain. Im no doctor but thinking that my wife has thyroid nueropathy.

Hi, I was wondering if leg pain (muscle) can be caused by a too low dosage of synthroid. I'm 60, have hereditary hemochromatosis and am experiencing fatigue, leg pain, brain fog and it seems greater hair loss, elevated ferrtitin, 95, with a normal TSAT%, 33, and have a phlebotomy every 2 months. My GP says my thyroid numbers are normal. I'm taking 0.075 mg daily. Should I see an endocrinologist?

Major symptoms were hair loss, extreme fatigue and exhaustion and leg pain. PCP says that leg pain is NOT coming from thyroid. Levels are normal and would not increase synthroid. Found a doc who switched me to armour. Within a week or so the fatigue and exhaustion improved. In the first couple of weeks on armour leg pain seemed to only come late at night and when I wake up on the morning. Leg pain now seems to linger all day and seems to have gotten worse. Energy level is good.

As I've mentioned, my TSH is 200 without medication. I take 2 Grains of Armour Thyroid every day. The normal range is 0.3 to 3. With medication my TSH is 0.2. Doc has also checked T3 and T4 levels and advised my cardiologist (HBP) that I should remain on the 2 Grains of Armour. Other symptons would of course be weight gain. I gained a good bit of weight before I learned about my thyroid (10 years ago), and I've never been able to lose it.

I have suddenly started having pitted edema in my lower legs and pain. I have had some pain before from the hypo but this is getting really bad. I also have the abdominal swelling but it has also gotten worse. I ended up in ER and had to have IV lasix to run the fluid out. All blood test concerning heart , liver , panceras, and kidneys were fine. No explaination from the doctor. Of course the reccommendation, follow up with your doctor.

My wife who is 58years old, medium built, is suffering from - pain in the outer thigh (right leg); upper left arm and burning sensation and pain in the buttocks area. She is not taking any medicines for this. She practiced yoga but of little help. Any suggestions/ advise please.

Hi, Sorry to hear, your aching. I am hyperthyroid and ache, all over daily, mostly my left shoulder/arm. Pain meds do not seem to help at all. But what does help, is just laying down and relaxing, when the aches get intense. Hope you feel better. Good luck to you !

ve been having very bad muscle pain and weakness in my legs and was wondering what I might be able to take to help ease these symptoms before I see the Endo. It's making me hard to get up and down from my desk at work. Thank you.

I am a 36 yr old female with chronic leg pain for a year and half. I am b12 deficient with monthly injections and have hypothyroidism. had a herniated disc at the L5/S1. have almost constant pain in the front of both thighs that feels like it at the bone. It is a burning/aching pain that affects my walking. It hurts to sit, stand and walk. Ibuprofen helps a little but not enough. have had physical therapy for disc but that only helped with the back pain and is mostly tolerable now.

I had a TT back in Oct 2014 I have been taking the Levothyroxine ever since. When I had my levels checked in December My thyroid level was at a 50, so they took my prescription from 75 mcg to 125 mcg. Then in February, it had dropped to 40 so they increased me to 150mcg. Then in march 2015, it had dropped to 25 so they increased me to 175mcg and just a few days ago i was at 11 so they increased me to 200 mcg. My d3 levels were low so I have been prescribed 5000iu per day.

com/sleep-disorders/tc/nighttime-leg-cramps-topic-overview This article from WebMD discusses night time leg pain. It explains restless leg is a fidgety discomfort rather than pain. Yours could easily be due to nutritional deficiencies. If taking a good multivitamin with minerals doesn't solve it, maybe you need to get checked for causes of malabsorption or thyroid disease or something else on that page.

I have been experiencing a numb feeling in my left leg and upper left arm but no pain. It seems that my body get these nerve racking sensations like something in my system is making me feel jittery. Any ideas.

Is it possible that this is a thyroid problem and that is causing all my pain? I have chronic pain in my jaw and in my left arm along with chest pressure. I have been to a couple cardiac docs and had a slew of tests on my heart and I was told not heart related. I do have a hiatal hernia and GERD but I can't see how that can cause this much pain. Thank you again for your comments.....I do really appreciate it.

If your T3, measured by the Free T3 test, is low but 'in range', you can have muscle and joint pain. This pain usually subsides when Free T3 levels are in the upper third of the range - many have noted this. Levo is a synthetic T4 med, but if you are on too low a dose, or dont convert T4 to T3 efficiently, this could be the cause. If you had free T3 tested, post the results with the range used by the lab for some experienced interpretation. Do you have other hypo symptoms as well?

I had blood work done, and my thyroid and sugar are good. I had an MRI done about 3 weeks ago at the ER and it was fine. I only get the bruising on my right thigh, first it was on the right side of it then it left then another came out on the left side of it. I have an appointment this Wednesday with a neurologist, hopefull she can help.

It comes and goes, but he has severe pain most of the time. He has been to the hospital several times. They give him pain medication, but it is like giving him water. He has taken Lyrica, Cymbalta, Hydrocodone to name a few. He tried getting off of his statin drugs, but could not tell any difference. We have tried massage, pain medication, numerous doctors, nothing has helped. If you have any suggestions please advise. Thanks.

I have been losing weight. I have 2 thyroid nodules and high thyroid antibodies 317. My TSH and T4 are within normal range. I have had thyroiditis for many years and would go through bouts of fatigue and palpitations etc, but this new issue with the muscle pain is awful. I had a test for blood clots but that was negative. I am going for a thyroid scan and uptake for my nodules. Anyone experience unbearable muscle pain? I don't know if its related but just wonder.

I can hardly walk up stairs with my right leg, the calf is so sore and weak.Went for a deep tissue massage, and she had me in tears from trying to smooth out all of the knots.I have mild adema in both legs.Any connection? I am buffaloed, so is my oncologist and massage therapist.I am a multiple cancer survivor.

s, my labs are right on the money and I still have the numbness and needles in the big toe and muscle pain and cramps now and then,including back pain along the right side of the spine over the rib cage, I also have an on going pain below my left rib cage, I have had three Endoscopy's and one endoscopic ultrasound and no one can determine the cause of the pain, other than a pulled abdominal cartilage (Guess) by my gastro?

I have pain which occurs in my lower back and hip, also down my leg and accross my thigh, this is accompanied by numbness and pins and needles in my leg and foot - i have had a facet joint injection which helped the arthritis in my lower back but not the hip or leg. I have also had an injection in the L5 nerve root which was of no help at all. The pain is worse at night and does not respond to the usual analgeisics or tramal for that matter.

Okay I have many issues and have been searching for answers for my general weakness and fatigue and many other issues. I have had hip pain/weakness and my tailbone always seems to be numb almost like a bulge. I have constipation problems because of this. My leg is really weak too. Been home for 2 yrs becuase of my troubles and of course cancer is always on my mind. Four years ago I had back surgery (L5 Herniated disc) which is much higher than the tailbone. The surgery was a success.
