I’m 22, and currently on 10mg each of methimazole and a beta-blocker. I was diagnosed in January and have been experiencing some pains that I never had before the Graves. If I reach for something, it seems I’m much more likely to overextend my arm and strain a muscle. Doing a quad stretch has recently caused a painful contraction of the hamstrings behind my quads. Most troubling of all, yawning deeply causes a burst of intense pain throughout my upper torso, including my neck.

Does anyone else know what I’m talking about? Any thoughts on why this is happening?

Hello – I would definitely mention this to your doctor or pharmacist. The specific examples that you provided were great and will hopefully be helpful in getting to the bottom of this issue.

I do know that joint/muscle pain can occur as a side effect of anti-thyroid drugs, but can also be associated with hyperthyroidism itself, so you definitely want a member of your medical team to help sort this out.

Hoping that you can get some relief soon!
