I wondered if anyone can advise me please, as I'm writing on behalf of my mum.
My mum started with her left knee and leg swelling about a month and a half ago following an excruciating snapping sensation to that leg, around the same time both wrists started to become painful and stiff, this has now progressed to her fingers that appear recoiled in a morning. Her GP practice is far from being good but they have requested an xray and done basic bloods including her tsh...she takes thyroxine and ramipril...I'm wondering if its her thyroid or a bacterial infection??? I'm really worried about the speed this is progressing, her gp's say its arthritis alone...
Any suggestions welcome please

Levothyroxine is an extremely fussy medication and must always be taken on its own, no other medications or supplements within 2 hours minimum of levothyroxine
Some like iron, magnesium, calcium, HRT or PPI must be minimum 4 hours away from levothyroxine
