Leg Inflammation for one week

2023-11-16 07:13:55
Hi Doctor, I have attached the leg inflammation image of my mom. She is having this leg inflammation for about a week after which we consulted our local doctor he prescribed sudden tests like creatine etc. All of the tests report came normal except the tsh which is 5.6 . Now our local doctor is suggesting to start thyroid medicine asap. I just wanted to know whether thyroid can be a reason for this leg inflammation. Should we start thyroid medicine or go for other tests ?

A full physical examination by a General Physician is required. We should not start treatment based on one finding. It could suggest a kidney disease or even heart disease.
