May seem like an ODD Question?

Do any of you feel like you feel pain worse, now that you have a Thyroid Problem?

I'm not sure if I'm lacking in something but my pain threshold seems to be getting worse.

My little jack Russell dog jumps on to my lap and it hurts my legs. Even a little knock and it seems to really cause me pain. Any ideas Guys?

I have and the level was 35. I've been on 800ug for about 2 mths now and still hurt, legs and arms but legs much worse. Do u think its lack of Vit D?

Angel, we should have trained our JRs better :'( My little JR/Springer jumps on me, walks over me and bruises and scratches me while digging a paw or elbow in tender places. Big JR/Springer is far more considerate apart from ocassionally stomping on my feet.

I bruise easily and they take ages to fade. VitD was deficient but is good now. It's made no difference to bruising but done away with hip and knee joint pain.

Thanks Clutter, so hopefully with a little more Vit D I may get there xx

I also have 2 Weimaraners that are a lot more gentle until like u said, stomp on my foot....Clumsy Oafs Lol

How's your ferritin, Angel? Low iron can cause pain too.

I love Weimaraners, such elegant dogs.

My whippets have really thin legs and it is like being lanced if they tread on you! I'm afraid mine even come under the covers with me So there is no escaping the pain of near impalement now and again! I can wake covered in paw sized bruises. I am odd with pain I don't feel it much save in my joints and with pressure on my skin which can be a killer. I am on it D I was 29 (just below range) and take 400iu D3 not much I think. I have never been retested since March when I felt awful.

TSH, mine were finally allowed on the bed when I was cold to the core with hypo. Impossible to keep them on, they would wriggle under the duvet. Canine heating was a must :-D

i had loading and maintenance doses for vitD and still supplement 5,000iu daily as joint pain resumed a few weeks after I stopped supplementing.

Lol what a tinker Clutter! One of my whippets hugs me like a person whether I want it or not! He specialises in sofa sabbing

Yes!! It may be fybriomyalgia , another autoimune condition! They can go together.....i cant tolerate combing:-) ....google it...but this can be sorted out by change in diet...less carbs etc i think i remember reading this is helpful

I am hypothyroid and have Sjögren's syndrome which are caused by inflammation. If I get a paper cut it comes up inflamed and if I get any injury it's always more inflamed than in the past. The doctors sometimes measure inflammation markers in our blood so I reason that if the pain levels are already on high alert then when we have an injury it puts them over the top. My pain thresholds are always lower when the other symptoms are high.

What meds are you on? I have fibromyalgia in addition to Hashimotos and was incredibly sensitive to pressure on any part of me and had very low pain threshold until T3 was added to my levothyroxine. Feel hugely better now.

I can't bear to have my cat sat on my lap too much any more :( - my legs ache like crazy, and it is very uncomfortable. I'm deficient or low in range in lots of things, and supplementing is still ongoing. My muscles twitch like crazy, but my cat twitches a lot too - the pair of us look very odd together!
