Does anyone else experience burning sensations in their forearm and legs? I’m also starting to feel the glands on both sidesof my neck begin to hurt. I’ve just been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and trying to figure this whole thing out. Thanks for your help.

    when i first realised there was something wrong (prior to diagnosis ) it was my feet  which were very painful and i think ,now, my legs. I even had difficulty in walking. After 25 years  i have just been diagnosed as hyperthyroid. Sorry f that is not more helpful. I am battling with my own new diagnosis and its problems.

      Hi Alley,

      I appreciate you responding and I’m super sorry to hear about your daughter.

      I don’t want to let this get out of hand and am trying to stay on top it. My doctor thinks crazy when I tell him that my arms and legs burn and my neck hurts off and on. I’m finally going start on some medication for it today. Thank you for your advice and my hope nothing but the best for you.
