A member asked:
I have hypothyroidism. i take 112 of tirosint and 90 of armor thyroid daily. i have pitting edema in my legs. why and how can i fix this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doc.: Edema of the extremities is only very rarely related to hypothyroid. When it does occur it is usually with marked and protracted hypothyroid ( very high tsh) and it is non pitting. If your TSH is normal the edema is due to something else. Have it evaluated.
