A member asked:

When i started taking thyroid meds, my bad heel pain almost disappeared. i stopped taking it two weeks ago and now i can barely walk again. is there any connection or is it a wired coincidence?

Possibly : Pain in muscles and joints can be a symptom of Hypothyroidism and hence it is possible that your synthroid (thyroxine) was able to alleviate that. It could also be a coincidence however and it's always better to get it checked.
