Hi, my ankles continue to swell. On July 29 after seeing my newest TSH blood results my doctor felt it was because of a need to change my thyroid medicine Synthroid from .88mcg to 100mcg. I have been taking the new dose for six weeks and my ankles are still swelling.
On Sep. 4 my doctor determined that I have Tendonitis in my right wrist and has me taking Advil 600mg 3 x daily, as well as, wearing a brace with a metal bar in it to support my wrist. My ankles are still swelling and I'm very concerned. Could the Advil cause water retention and therefore ankle swelling? I have been drinking 4 to 6 glasses of water daily in addition to other fluids hoping this might help alleviate the swelling. Help?
