Joint pain management or medication

Recently I have been having problems with pain in my wrists every time I wake up in the morning. At first, I didn't mind it at all but it happens several times a week. I got into researching joint pain medication and it brought me here hondrexilchile.cl/ and read about Hondrexil capsules. The site says some good stuff about it (of course, that's what they would say). Just wanted to know if others have already used these capsules and what are the effects or side-effects of such medication. Hoping for your kind response. Have a great day!

Welcome to the group. Wrist pain is often caused by carpal tunnel which is in turn caused by too low a dose of thyroid hormones. Do you have any thyroid blood results to share with us?

How much levothyroxine are you currently taking

How long on this dose

ALWAYS Test thyroid levels early morning, ideally just before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Do you always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription

Request GP also test vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin

Carpal tunnel extremely common with low Ft3 when not on high enough dose of levothyroxine, or poor conversion of Ft4 (levothyroxine) to Ft3 (active hormone)

what’s the reason for your hypothyroidism.
