I’m having a weird symptom I thought I’d run by you all. My muscles in general but particularly in my legs seem to “overtighten” easily, like I’ve worked them out to hard and they need to be stretched out. Yet I’ve only been doing normal activities. It’s almost a spasm but not quite. Does this relate to anyone else’s hyper or hypo symptoms?

No, haven’t experienced or heard of that one yet, but as you know, with Graves, anything is possible. Hope this passes quickly.

Raspberry, I would cramp up almost every time I exercise if I didn’t stretch AFTER. Everybody knows to stretch beforehand but after is just as important. It doesn’t have to be arduous or lengthy, just an easy stretch for a minute or 2. Best thing is to face an open door, put your hands on the frame while bending a front leg which is flat on the floor and extending the rear leg about 18 inches back. You will feel the back leg calf muscle stretch as you naturally go up on tippy toes with the rear leg while bending the front. Alternate and do the other leg. Just a nice gentle stretch, not supposed to be hard or painful. Hope it helps.

Hello – I’ve heard of muscle cramps with hypO, so if it’s been a while since you had levels checked, it might be worth a visit to your doctor. Hope you can get some relief!

Thanks everybody! I’m due soon for blood work, so maybe something will come up. I’ve been on the low side of the normal range for FT4 for quite a while these last months so maybe…
