Finally someone with the same sympthoms!!! I’m on PTU (50mg/day) but last summer I went hypo and every bone in my body hurt. I was running and working out with weights and looking great! Then my tailbone and shoulders/elbows/knees began to hurt. I went to an orthopedic about my aches and by the way I messed up my right shoulder and now have to be extremely careful lifting anything over my head. I didn’t realize I was hypo until tested. The bone and muscle aches, rashes, sluggishness, etc. was all from going hypo. I had to stop everything so as not to further damage myself. I fractured my tailbone as a kid so I guess that’s why it bothered me now. It was also painful sitting on ANYTHING!! I’ve learned to be kinder to my body. I never had these kind of aches at my worst level of hyper except for muscle loss. My thyroid levels are stable now so I’ve returned to working out again (slowly/carefully). It’s not your imagination and I suppose these type of problems can happen to hypers and hypos but affected me when I went hypo! If you have any questions I can help you with let me know. Take care…………
