hypothyroid and swollen, burning sensation in both ankles
a year ago I had my thyroid ablated. my blood numbers came back perfect for 4 months following ablation.I started to notice discomfort in both ankles, swelling and a sensation of burning. after 4 months I was put on synthroid. my weight gain has been constant, my eating habits are normal. due to pain in ankles it's hard for me to walk distance, or put any pressure on ankles, bending, walking,reaching etc. No pain pill has helped, elevating does not help. I've been to every 'ologist' in the book, and not one of the doctors had a solution. I've taken a zillion blood tests, cardiac tests, vascular tests etc. all came out perfectly fine. Everyone is flummoxed. I am still under the care of my endocrinologist. I'm taking synthroid 150, and cytomel. recently I have been diagnosed with pernicious anemia, so I'm on B12(2000 a day) and Vit. D (2000 a day) My weight is off the charts, and my ankles are still swollen and burning. Is there anyone out there that has these symptoms? I'll keep the weight if I can just get rid of the pain in my ankles and lead a normal walking life. HELP PLEASE
I just received a medhelp friendship invitation , that I have to click on to accept, new to this, legit? Definitely don't want virus or hackers! Why not just respond like everyone else on this site?
I've been a fan of Edgar Cayce since the 60's, still have his books, including THE SLEEPING PROPHET.
Will definitely look into the tea, and go back and research the rest of his wisdom. Lasix etc. Never helped. Thanks for the Emu reminder.

Did you look into the dandelion root, for the swelling? You can do either tea or capsules.
The burning/pain is quite likely caused by the swelling. Mine get that way, too, when swollen, because it stretches my skin. Weight can also play a role in this, because excess weight can put extra strain on feet/legs.

Don't forget to try the EMU OIL for you pain. Its on Amazon.
I also read from Dr Cayce's book : his treatment to reduce edema, other than using Lasix and other diuretics is by drinking watermelon seed tea. I posted it here for you but I mistakingly had the website included so they took out my post.. but you could google it..Watermelon seed tea.

Do you know if blurry vision is part of D or thyroid symptoms,
Guess I'm focusing in on everything different now!
I just want my ankles to stop burning and lose weight, is that too much to ask??

I'd say your doctor is being ultra-conservative. With a range of 30-100 on D, you have a long way to go to be "toxic" with a result of 31. A range on any test ought to be interpreted as the playing field within which the doctor can adjust meds/supplements, and he should be using the whole playing field.
I hope you have better luck with your rheumy on Monday.
Vitamin D deficiency ofen goes hand-in-hand with hypo. Maybe it's just that once hypo, vitamin D (among other things) has to be a little higher in the range than for healthier people.
