I have Graves disease but have been in remission for over a year. I first noticed a stiff shoulder approximately 1 month after I was taken off methimazole. It got worse until I was finally diagnosed with frozen shoulder. Just wanted to know if anyone else with Graves has had this. I read an article that said it was more common in thyroid disease and diabetes. Thanks!

I haven’t experienced this or seen much about it…but I do seem to recall reading one article somewhere that mentioned a possible correlation. And if I’m not totally senile, I think that I saw someone else post this same question a month or 2 ago. You might want to do a forum search for “frozen shoulder” if you haven’t already? Either that, or maybe they’re still here & will weigh in…

Glad to hear that you’re in remission (woo hoo!), but sorry to hear about the shoulder.
