A member asked:
Can untreated hypothyroidism cause excruciating joint pain, especially in the ankles. can it cause sed rate and crp to be high.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It will not elevate the sed rate and crp. The joint pain of severe hypothyroidism is low grade and not excruciating. There is another cause and it isn't thyroid. See a rheumatologist. The one exception is an increased risk of pseudogout which can cause major pain but is unlikely to involve the ankles.
