Hi guys

Do any of you suffer from muscle aches and cramps? This seems to be one on the worst symptoms for me.  I have aches in by legs, shoulders and chest. Much worse after sitting for a while. 

Thanks

    Yes.  This is very common.  I sent you a link privately to information about this as we are not allowed to post links on the Board.

      Hello Linda, can you also please send the link to me? It happened to me during the peak of my hyperthyroidism before I got diagnosed. It come to the point that I couldn’t walk and fell while standing couple of times.

    Yes!! Mostly my aches are at the top of my knee on my thigh.  I do get bad charlie horses/leg cramps at night. These I believe are side effects of the medicine I take. I'm on Methimazole 5mg a day.

    Hi Dean,

    Yes, I get pain in my hands and knees. I am not sure if it is muscle or joint pain though. Like you, it also gets worse from not moving for a long period of time. I have noticed that the cold makes it worse and warmth helps. How about you?

    Take care,

    SolSun

      Hi

      I haven’t really noticed any change with heat or cold. Although a long soak in a hot bath does ease symptoms.
