Muscles …hard like a ball… what it can be?

[SVETA]

Could somebody tell me what it can be?  I have bumbs oll over my legs. It looks like tight muscles and they are very uneven and bumpy. I can not explain better. Skin looks absolutely nomal. It feels like i have little hard balls instead of muscules. I am very scared ... Can it be side effect fro Levoxyl? What else?
P.S. I am 9 month after TT and RAI due to thyca.

Thanks for any ideas and your support.

You poor thing, it just keeps coming.  You didn't say, do they hurt?  Do you know what your TSH is right now?

My only thought really is that when I was severely hypo I had such horrible muscle cramps I couldn't get out of bed.  I spent one entire weekend writhing in agony b/c no one would see me or treat me.  Not even in the ER.

One more thought would be your calcium or potassium levels being low and causing muscle spasms.  Other than these things I just really don't know.

Am praying for God to give you some relief from all that you are going through now.

I was thinking the same thing as Dac .. and/or magnesium too can help with muscle spasms.  
You have been thru the mill and back with this .... sorry, I wish I could help you out more.

Thank you guys. It's not painfull. It's not like muscle spazms or cramps. They(muscles) look like little  1 cm hard balls. Yesterday i saw my doctor and he said it looks like calcium deposit cysts. So I stopped taking calcium supplement as of today. I am not sure if it is a  good idea.. but..I also start taking  Lyrica for my leg pain... Do not see any difference yet..Thanks for your support.

Lyrica .. was that the med my kidney stone board suggested?

CALCIUM DEPOSITS .. oh not good .... Keep a check you don form KIDNEY STONES .... they can form from too much calcium!!!! Mine are calcium oxalate stones and I am almost certain mine formed (out of the blue) from taking mega Mylanta while prego for 2yrs in a row with 2 children only 14mos apart) .... I had developed gallstones and I chugged the stuff non-stop for 2yrs and then developed out of the blue kidney stones .. now,interesting to note that I have not developed any more of them and have been off the Mylanta for yrs ????????  I now take the Mylanta (if needed) without the calcium in it,.

Anyway .. I know I went off topic .. but if these are calcium deposits ... I'm concerned about stones but I'm no Doctor .. just like you .. too many things going on.

Did you get the 7 day free trial? My doc gave me that for my sciatic nerve pain and then today my sister was prescribed to it for anxiety/depression or whatever. It is a new drug out and they are giving this to alot of people i noticed with a 7 day free trial and the regular script was over a hundred dollars,WOW! Anyway i am wondering if we are guini pigs for this drug,lol.

Thank you guys! Yes! I did get 7-day free trial. Unfortunately, Lyrica did not work for me at all. So I stopped taking it. And now this little 1 cm hard balls on tights of my legs (so far I found three of them) swollen lymph nodes? Calcium deposit? My doctor send me back to the surgeon. But I cannot pick phone to make an appointment yet.

Am praying really hard for you to get some relief from all of this soon!  Wish I knew something else to say.  Know that I am thinking about you and praying for you.  Hope that helps some what.

God give you strength and healing!
