Cramps in the leg --- Low TSH

Hi
  I have been getting cramps in the leg... usually left leg but also sometimes in right leg and foot
Usuallu get them when laying in bed... big pain.. if an when I can stand up and walk around on it
   then gradually the pain goes away...

Recently had a thyroid test

             T3 - Result 1.37     (Reference Range...0.62 - 2.79 nmol/L )
              T4 - Result 107      (Reference Range  65- 138  nmol/L )
             TSH  Result 0.027   (Reference Range 0.50 - 8.90 mIU/L )

So TSH was rather low... what is the next step ??
   And what is the relationship between TSH and Cramps in the legs ??

All I can add is that my TSH is <0.05 and I get cramps in both legs. T3 and T4 are within normal range. I have been diagnosed with a hyperactive nodule.

hello and welcome!  I'm not an expert on interpreting tests .. others will jump in I am sure .. but have they done other tests such as minerals like magnesium and calcium levels?  Sometimes those are defficient leading to cramps, too ........

What about a full panel for thyroid antbodies esp. since the TSH came in at that # ?

WELCOME ... so glad you joined the community,
