Hello ,I am a 57yrs old male. I was having terrible muscle and joints pain especially in my legs and knees added to sudden deep fatigue.Paid my doctor a visit and to my astonishment found out that I lost 12 unexplained lb.in a very short time. Blood test confirmed I have hyperthyroid problems. Put me on 15 mg of methimazole. Having a scan tomorrow. All I care is to get red of my legs stiffness and knees pain. Do hyperthyroid attack your legs and is it reversible? If I completely remove my thyroid, do this symptoms disappear?

    It appears a common occurrence for hyperthyroidism to affect the legs. Medication has improved my symptoms but is not a cure. Hope this helps.
