I have a few lumps on my thyroid and i'm going for a biospy this week, Why do my joints hurt so badly it has effected my life style! Should I be tested for something else, the pain is almost unmanageable. Do thyriod tumors effect your joints and muscles?

I haven't seen anything about a direct link between arthritis and thyroid conditions but I have both and it's miserable. There is an autoimmune arthritis (RA) and many autoimmune thyroid conditions. Are your thyroid labs normal? Ask your doctor to run a RA (rheumatoid arthritis) test and test you for thyroid antibodies.
