Does anyone else suffer from thumping, painful legs with hypo? Not talking about restless legs. My legs feel as though they are burning and expanding - they're not. It's constant. On levo. If anyone can share would be grateful
Yes !! And my hands.my doctor told me its the Synthroid that I was on 100 milligrams he took me off of it because my t's were out of range High very high I'm on nothing right now he took me off of my medication till my levels come back down and then he's going to put me on a different brand at a lower dosage probably 75. I hope this helps
Yes I feel your pain... I started taking potassium and magnesium but the stuff from GNC not Walmart.... I feel a lot better but also my Dr took me off Synthroid and put me on Armour Thyroid. Try a extra dose of magnesium. Let me know if it works for u
Are you referring to massive water retention and leg bloating? That happened to me. My guess is you're younger and probably not as susceptible to the bloating.
No she is not bloating.. this leg pain she is taking about you can't sleep it hurts to walk it her calf muscles it's almost like restless legs syndrome on steroids... I think if my Dr didn't change my MEDS in Nov 2015 I would me in a wheelchair today. Before I had my Thyroid removed in 2013 I went to the gym 5 days a week by 2015 I couldn't leave the house😪
Yes I have had leg and joint pain even in my arms I'm not taking no meds right now l. First we thought it was restless leg syndrome but my neurologist said its not.
I'm sorry I tried Levo it just wouldn't work for me.
Yeah I take magnesium 3 times a day I tell potassium's excellent McHale seems really good I had a reaction to the centroid in the one is equal to centralize Aaliyah take me off at the other one so now I have to try another brand and on top of it the Synthroid cause me to not have a bowel movement at all so now I've got feels like to blockages in my intestines I hate taking this medication but I have to because my thyroid is out
But sh
But she states it's not restless legs
That's what I suffer with. Mine is water retention. Make sure you drink plenty o
Thank you everyone for your responses. It isn't restless leg syndrome but really hideous pain in my leg muscles, particularly my calf muscles. They aren't swollen, they just feel as though there is Simons inside trying to break free!
I am going back to endo next month with a whole list of problems!
Thank you again.
This may be due to neuropathy.
Have you had your vitamin D level checked or tried taking extra? I have the same problem as you. An endo has checked all my thyroid levels and they are normal. Have been told to take extra vit D but have only just started.
Yes. I have had absolutely everything checked and my endo prescribed liquid Vit D which I have to take once a month. Thank you for responding
Has it made any difference? I was told that the endo only sees patients with overactive thyroid probs and that underactive is only treated by the GP.
Have you been prescribed any medications recently or in the past 12 months. Some cause tendonitis.
An endorsement doctor sees anyone with any kind of thyroid problems
Here in Italy GP's don't treat you for thyroid. You are referred to endo straight away.. Endocrinologists see hypo as well, sounds like you were fobbed off with that. I would insist with your GP. I have lived here for 2 years, before that I was in the UK all my life.
Where in Italy do you live? I go there every test year and do speak the language competently (B2/C1 level). Re. Endo's it is the NHS economising but underactive is easier to treat than overactive. I have been managed by a GP most of the time.
