"Could this be related to the problem in finding the correct dose?"
- Possibly, it depends on the individual, other health issues.
Hypo thyroid will magnify other health problems, so the cause can be more than one.
Regulating thyroid only by TSH is most common, but not the best. You need to see T4 and T3, by geting what is called the Free T3 and Free T4 test. Low T3 levels (even low but in range) are most contributing to muscle and joint pain associated with hypothyroid.
To respond to your comments. The knee that was fixed is strong. I have not had surgery on my other knee yet. I see the doctor tomorrow. As for favoring the right knee, I think I was doing this without really noticing that I was doing so. There really was not reaseon to be favoring it other than when it would hurt when the weather would change.
An X-ray can't see soft tissue, such as a cartilage tear. It might be the meniscus, for example. I don't know who diagnosed you or how -- was it an orthopedist? Did anyone move your knee around to see how mobile it is? I would guess your family physician knows absolutely nothing about knees except to refer those who have problems to a specialist.
can anyone tell me if they have had platelet injections in their knee for arthritis? I have a really bad, arthritic knee and DO NOT want to have it replaced. I already did that on the other knee and regret it.I have had every treatment known including physicla therapy and still have issues with pain and not being able to walk for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Any info about this would be greatly appreciated.
5/16/12 sends me for MRI of the spine. The back shows a couple of bulges, but I have not had any problems with my back. Chiro who has worked on patient off and on through pregnancy and one elbow surgery says the problem is not my back. It's my knee.
Question: Is it possible that in his rush to fix the meniscus (obvious), the doctor missed the underlying degeneration issues. I have three young children (ages 4, 9 and 11) and a busy life.
With aggressive treatment including 2 lumbar nerve blocks and PT because it was caught early by my doctor, it is contained to my left foot and knee and is mostly in remission. If it isn't addressed early, it can spread throughout your body. It generally is brought on by a trauma of some sort (ie broken bone or surgery, etc.). It was first discovered in the civil war in gun shot victims.
A few weeks on crutches, a few weeks doing exercises in rehab, and using a knee support, and the knee was pretty good. By September 2023, when we went on vacation, things were pretty good.
On vacation, more walking, and developed some knee pain in my LEFT knee. But again, nothing that kept me from doing things (used ice, Voltaren, acetaminophen).
The doctor found a pinched nerve behind my knee so I assumed the MRI would come out find. The next day I found out I have a 3cm meningionma on the right side of my brain. I have also had memory problems for years. So I don't know whether or not these are symptoms of the tumor but the surgeon says it should come out so I don't have seizures.
a bone spur and a sclerotic lesion are not the same thing. a bone spur (in the knee) is a fairly common x-ray finding in older patients.
sclerotic changes are not very common and can be caused by a few different mechanisms. the exact reason for why a person has a sclerotic lesion should be investigated thoroughly.
the diaphysis refers to the shaft of any long bone. the ends are called the epiphysis.
