Body aches on Armour thyroid

Anyone experience body aches on Armour Thyroid? I'm on Armor 30 and it seems to work the best for me in terms of hypothyroid symptoms such as depression, fatigue, motivation, hair loss, excessive sweating etc. But it seems to give me severe body aches. I've searched for this topic but most of the  information I'm seeing is from many years ago. I was hoping to get some more recent feedback on anyone's experience with armor. One post mentioned something about their liver hurting. What I'm experiencing is lower right side back pain that  radiates to under my right rib and almost to my right armpit.  it feels like it inside me somewhere and not as if I pulled my back out.  I also  feel that my joints hurt as well as getting traveling bodyaches. Anyone experience anything similar? If so did you changed anything else that was better? I also read in a post that NP thyroid is the same as armor with less side effects. I'm also seeing that nature throid is much better but I'm not sure if that is in relation  to bodyaches or not.  I did try Synthroid with Cytomel but that did not work as good with my symptoms as the armor, but it definitely did not give me the bodyaches. Thank you for any feedback.

It could be that your dosage is inadequate.  Hypothyroidism can cause various aches and pains.  I have experienced that myself.  What is your daily dosage of thyroid med?  Please post your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.  Also, if tested for Vitamin D, B23 and ferritin please post those as well.

Sorry, that should have been B12, not B23.
