Re: Joint/bone pain and Synthroid

Dusty,

The study I cited recently about cardiac effects also noted osteoporosis

for TSH levels at 0.1 or below. However, that should not cause bone and

joint pain until bones start breaking or changing shape. OTOH, I get

joint pain when my dose is too low and TSH goes up. Bone pain goes with

a number of other conditions. I believe arthritis is the most common,

although that usually affects the joints more. What you might have is

tendinitis, where the muscle connects to the bone, rather than the bone

itself.

....Teehee - i just clicked on the cyber addy below your post and

discovered it isn't a reference site for joint and bone pain as I thought.

Re:Joint/bone pain and Synthroid

You didn't mention taking a statin such as Lipitor, so you're probably

not. However, if you are then you should notify your doctor at once.
