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

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😪

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.

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.
