Harpreet, When we are in a low thyroid state, a swollen spongey substance called mucin builds up in the skin especially in the extremities. Here is the article that I wrote about mucin that builds in the legs but that same mucin builds in the arms too and can pinch on the blood vessels and nerves. This is why many hypothyroid people develop carpal tunnel syndrome: https://hypothyroidmom.com/my-darn-hypothyroid-legs/

Get a second medical opinion. f you struggle to find a good doctor, consider booking a thyroid consult with me. Over my ten years as Hypothyroid Mom, I’ve been collecting the names of thyroid doctors and compiling them by region based on recommendations from my followers. I’ve done this for ten years because I know that the hardest part is finding a good thyroid doctor. I have extensive doctor lists for every state that are a good blend of both private doctors as well as doctors that take insurance. I provide every person that I meet for a consult with a list of doctors for their area. Here is my booking calendar: https://ny786.infusionsoft.app/app/orderForms/Talk-with-Dana-Trentini-30min

I’m 44 and was diagnosed around 22/23 years old. I’ve had anxiety and depression right after that diagnosis. (Although, I am predisposed to anxiety, and have had mild anxiety as a child). Reading this post has me with my mouth hanging open. I have severe carpal tunnel in both of my hands. It became worse after having a baby. I have had shoulder problems since the same time of my thyroid diagnosis. I recently had bicep tendonitis. I have had mystery foot pain and issues in my ankles that I couldn’t bear weight on my foot. There is so much of what the post shared that I have! Time to focus on finding a doctor who can help me sort out my thyroid. My medication must need changing. Thank you for this!

Some fare well on Tirosint (T4 hormone, no fillers like Synthroid- expensive though ) with their cytomel (T3 hormone ). Others like Armour Thyroid as it’s T1, T2, T3, T4. Not good if you have a heart condition. This is made from animal thyroid gland. It’s important to have all labs drawn 3-4 times a year . Every 6 weeks if you are trying to get stable on a new dose . Always a full panel, TSH plus all other labs .
