Does anyone else have this problem???? Especially since it's gotten so dang hot, I can just FEEL the fluid building up in my knees/ankles :( Feels gross!
About me: hypo, taking 90 mg Armour daily.

    I have the same thing. Especially in my hands, ankles, feet... I have Hypo, Hashimoto's and am on 175mcg of Levoxythrine. Oh yeah.

    Seems this is pretty common with hypo -- here's the topic on stopthethyroidmadness.com

    My right ankle would swell up especially in this heat. At night my right leg would ache like a toothache-I would have to take something to sleep. Dr. ran every test possible and had no clear cut answer for me. Told me to wear those medical knee hi's(can't recall what they are called)-didn't do a thing.
    Had NO idea it was from my Thyroid problem. Stopped taking Synthroid and switched to Armour Thyroid (60) and I have No problems, so far.
