I am new at this as I just have had my thyroid out beginning of August of this year, but my back, legs and arm muscles hurt. I have to go to dr soon but can this be due to being possibly hypo? :smile:

    Yes, muscle aches and joint pain can be due to being hypo. I've been hypo for about 7 years now. It's not fun. Your doc will probably check your TSH levels when you visit. Ask him/her to treat your symptoms not your numbers. My worst symptom is constipation...:( But I've suffered from the muscle aches and joint pain too. Epsom salt baths help. As does potassium. Maybe an anti inflammatory med?...or eat lots of pineapple. :) Good luck. Hope you feel better soon.
