muscle and joint pain

[ducttape]

hi I'm trying to figure out if these symptoms are shared by others who are hypo.  Intense muscle cramping, muscle fatigue and joint pain.  headaches too?

Thanks for your coaching on my other thread - I'm once again encouraged reading your post here. My increasing tendinitis, joint pain and muscle cramps on top of frozen shoulder (which may or may not be related) where the final - duh! - maybe I need better thyroid treatment.

I also have had similar symptoms.  While hypothyroid I had muscle cramping very bad.  It disappeared after getting my Free T4 and Free T3 levels optimized.  Also at a different time I had knee pain so bad that I could not rise from a chair without using my arms to push myself up.  At that point I just decided to increase my thyroid med to see if it could be associated with hypothyroidism.   In just 3 days after the increase I could do deep knee bends without pain.  

What are your Free T4 and Free T3 levels and reference ranges shown on the lab report?

I have hashi and joint pain,  muscle ache, stiff body,  frozen shoulder.
You get a feeling as if joints are connected in a crude manner.

When you have prolonged pains like this,  our brain tries to avoid any movement that can cause pain. This kind of makes you less mobile and lethargic...
