leg pain

[sharris123]

Has anyone had really bad pain in their calves? when I stand up either from sitting or sleeping, i am in excruciating pain until I walk it off...? has me pretty scared.

I didn't necessarily have pain in my calves but my feet hurt when I was hyper. I'm still waiting to see after being off all meds for 6 weeks what my bloodwork will say if I am in remission. They don't hurt anymore but I'd sit on my bed and watch tv with my legs dangling and they would really hurt. I'd think "gosh was I not going to able to walk on top of everything else". That has subsided and I'm not noticing it now. I wonder if it is water retention?

I had very bad pains in my legs and knees while hyper, and had them again after I went hypo. It was so bad that I couldn't walk stairs. Graves has been known to cause what some doctors call muscal wasting, which is really saying that the muscals become very week. This does cause pain. Until my levels were within range for several weeks I would have these pains. I hated it. I would mention it to your doc, just to let them know the next visit. Better to be on the safe side. Hope your legs feel better soon.

Newly diagnosed and wanted to say that before I started the meds I would have pain in my arms, legs, joints. It would feel as if it were so deep in the bones. I was scared that I had bone cancer or something. Now on the thyroid meds I have not had any of that pain which makes me believe that it was due to being hyper. I hope you find a solution to yours soon. Will be praying for you.

Well here I am at 19 days past RAI and my leg pains have lessened drastically! My joints are sore, but when I stand, it doesnt hurt! I just hope this continues to get better!

I want to say WAY TO GO! Then say, yea I had pain in my heel and tendons behind (achillies-sp?) and the arch of my right foot. Once my levels got less hyper it felt much better. A little sore at first, but better after awhile.

Its baack...im not too happy about it, but got up today, feel like my old self.. muscle aches and sore legs!!! It was good for a bit. Hopefully starting on meds of some sore next week....gained all my weight back!!! I am screaming inside, I dont think anyone can hear me yet!!

Take care all.

I think the aches and pains you have been dealing with are just one more thing added to the list of : "get used to it, and get over it" kind of advice usually given to thyroid patients. No, I'm not a thyroid sufferer... therefore I haven't a clue of how it feels. BUT I'm human, and I have my share of medical issues. When my aches and pains come around (every day), rather than think of getting used to it, I try to rise above it. This is not to say I don't ***** about it, but deep breaths and relaxation technics are helpful... for me, prayer helps too. Wish you the best of health, and peace of mind.
Sincerely,
