Back and groin pain

[Sylvia22]

my Daughter who like me has under active thyroid has got problems with her lower back. Pain going around her hip and into her groin area. She has seen Doctor as he wanted to rule out anything serious as she has tingling in the area as well. Said it is probably muscle pain. She has tried various exercises recommended by physio but it is still the same. I believe she has Fibro as well.can anyone shed any light on this please.

Hi Sylvia, you don’t say if your daughter is on Levo or what her blood test results are. I am suffering with hip pain which extends into my groin and down my leg. Nothing serious showed up on an x ray. I believe this is due to being under medicated.

As you haven’t received any replies apart from mine, I would start a new post with a bit more info, ie Levo dose, blood tests etc

Thank you. Yes that is what I told her.

Hi I had such severe groin pain but that improved when medication was increased and TSH got down to 1. It felt like I had broken glass in my groin. I hope she feels better soon I remember how awful it was.

Thank you. I have thought that myself and have found info about how fluid build up can press on nerves due to undermedication.

Hi Sylvia. is there any psoriasis or arthritis in your family history? I ask because lower back, hip, groin pain can be caused by other autoimmune issues and as you know, patients with one autoimmune condition tend to collect others.

My Sister has a little Arthritis in her hands. Will give it some thought
