No, this is something I know I don't have at this time and hope I never do.

Re: Does this happen to anyone else?

I've been having that same thing... I thought it was from sitting with my feet up so much more than usual and my butt and nether regions stiffening up from the shift in body weight... When you have your feet on the floor a portion of weight is transferred to the legs.. otherwise more is on your rear..

This might be something to volley for a while too.....

... have you checked yourself for pitting edema in your legs? That is how mine started.. the toes, I mean.. the to pitting edema in my lower legs... then the infection...

No, I don't think so, unless it's awfully subtle. I do have this little bit of swelling around my toes, after I've been on my feet way too long, but it does go away with rest, i.e., putting my feet above my heart. What I've had lately, on a couple of occasions, lasting for 3 days one time, and a few hrs the next, all within a week, is this stiff dead feeling in my tailbone and buttocks, whenever I've been sitting for a short while, then go to get up and walk. It's really not painful, it's just that my hips won't swing forward, until I've been attempting to walk for a couple of minutes, as though they are frozen. It's weird, and I've never experienced anything like it. If I slowly keep going forward, then it's as though they unlock and I can walk normally. Funny thing is, though, it was only on and off over a 3 day period, then off for around 3 days, then started again, just for a few hrs. Now it's completely gone, but it was downright scary. I do lift patients at work, but not very many, as I'm on the night shift, but I've never lifted a patient the wrong way because I'm very careful with my back.

I think many of the things that I am dealing with now are from years of hyper... then the thyroid storm.. It's those two that set my body up for a lot of damage.. I've never gotten a straight answer out of anyone on that. I know that in storm the body will cannibalize itself if you don't eat enough... breaking down muscle and organ tissue if you aren't taking in enough nutrients. I was eating like a horse... over 25,000 calories a day.. with lots of meat, fruits and vegies, anything my body was craving.... but I'm still fearing that I have damage that will never be repaired (back to wanting that first doc that told me to go home to meet me in a dark alley......). Then follow that with over a decade of being hypo.. underdosed.... (now I want all the other docs in that dark alley too.

I have to vent.. so skip the next part....

All the years that I took care of myself and paid all the high insurance premiums so that if something happened I'd be taken care of... and then the one time that I finally go in to find out what is happening, over 30 years old and it was the first time I ever went in for something that wasn't work related, and I get told to go away... he puts all the symptoms in my chart.. classic, text book hyperthyroid symptoms... Ignores the fact that I tell him I've lost 40 pounds in the last month, never bothers to even test me.... and tells me to go home... and when he gets his rear end chewed out ten months later by the doc that diagnosed me... he says 'she's too fat to be sick' I was solid, a body builder, with only 21 % body fat --- BEFORE I started dropping weight. Just border line for being underweight.. I had ribs and collar bones sticking out.... and he said that I was too fat....

Wonder what he'd think of me now, now that I'm really fat and some 200 pounds heavier then when he saw me... I bet he'd faint if I went nose to nose with him now... I bet he'd wet his britches... and I'm not talking the kind of wet that he'd enjoy either...

*sigh*

end of vent... I think I feel better now....
