Hi,
I was taking synthroid 100 micrograms for about two and a half months, a little
before the 2 month mark I started to have joint pain, mostly in my ankles, shin
and feet. The first week I thought nothing of it because I was working out 3-4
times a week, and I thought maybe I just pulled something the wrong way.
After a week the pain worsened, and I called my endocrinologist, he said, joint
pain is NOT a side effect of synthroid. Another week passes, and the pain is
so bad I could not put weight on my right foot. I went to ER no broken bones,
blood was normal, and so was urine. I went to primary the next day, he tested
my blood and everything came back fine. I did research online about
synthroid, and I did find that people were having the same exact pain and
swelling that I was, I was so relieved other people were going through what I
was. I had my endo switch me to Armour thyroid, it's only been about a week
since I have been on new medication, and I still have joint pain and swelling.
•Has anyone had this experience with synthroid?
•And how long does it take for the swelling and joint pain to go away?
