Thanks to all of you wonderful folks who responded to my question
about Graves and muscle problems a week or so ago. I feel certain
that my problems with muscles stem from Graves – now to make these
md’s understand! Ha!

I was daignosed with GD last Monday. Received RAI on Thursday. Today, I have cramps and soreness in my legs. Could this be related to the RAI? What effects have people had after RAI, anything? Both my doctors told me there would be no side effects. Seems strange to me.

For the last year, I have been experiencing increasing discomfort with my legs and finding it hard to walk, stoop, get up from the floor or ground without going to a fixed object to pull myself up with some leverage.

I went to see a doctor yesterday and he advised me that prolonged use of the P drug has a side effect of affecting the muscles. I have been on P drug for three years. Has anyone else experienced problems in this regard?

He came me an anti-inflamatory drug to take nightly. Please let me know. Thanks
Joan

Hi

I had RAI in Feb. and by May I was on levothroid changed that in June to levoxyl I have been having muscle and joint pain so that I am taking pain reliever every day the first call to the endo office the nurse says “it takes awhile for the body to absorb and adjust when I call back later I find out she hasn’t even told the doctor my symptoms pretty upset wirh her so they finally tell me have labs TSH is .31 thats ok they tell me. Time goes on and I’m still feeling this way the same nurse ok more labs. I call to get the results and they are not much different .38 My appt. with endo was last Friday the endo comes in and tells me I’m in the normal range so the symptoms are related to something else and I should my PCP and he doesn’t need to see me anymore because my levels are normal it was like I got the bum’s rush. I was so frustrated and angry I told him I would see my PCP and let her treat me. Also said I only need to have blood work only once or twice a year. As I read other posts now I am worried about it being lupus. What are symptoms of that?? I will definetly find new endo if need to in the future. Thanks for lettin me vent

Hi,
I too have had muscle aches usually in back and upper arms and shoulders. Even though my TSH and T3 labs results showed “normal”, endo did increase thyroid med 1 step for me. Now I no longer have muscle pain.
Good luck,
jj in vt (jjvt)
