Since having Graves' disease I have had this awfully stiff neck and shoulder which is so painful!! Worse as my levels fall in range it slightly on the lower scale! Has anyone else had this? It's really getting me down and not sure why its happening!? Ugh

Oh you poor thing! It's awful isn't it!! What's your t4 and t3 ? I think as it gets lower the pain is worse? As when I was hyper I didn't have it hardly at all? I guess it's the signals getting all confused from the meds maybe! It's getting me down though 😩. My TSH is stil undetectable so could be that also? X

Ok the T4 is lower end isn't it. My t3 is low end too I'm guessing there a battle going on with the thyroid drugs and our thyroid and maybe it bypasses the neck? So maybe causes pain? Im going to see a Dr and will let you know how I get on x maybe try and get your t3 tested?

So many times different doctors I been seen by I asked them abt t3 answer is tsh tells abt everything so there's no need to check t3
