Underarm muscle aches and hypothyroidism
Hi ,
I have had chest pain initially a month and a half ago. Now the pain is under the arm and Lil above the breast. And also have back pain at times..I have ruled out all the cardiac issues ECG ,2d echo and trop t are normal. Breast and axila ultrasound is normal. I have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism with TSH values being 28. I have already started thyronorm 75mcg. The muscle aches have been there since long so just wanted to know if muscle aches are caused with hypothyroidism. If not , how long does the muscle strain usually last for. I have tried sednock SP and Ibugesic plus tablets after consultantion with doctor . But not much effective.
Thank you.
Awaiting a doctor's response.

Your condition can be because of Hypothyroidism,good that you ruled out Cardiac condition first . Wait for 1 more months ,give some time to the Hypothyroid medicine ,and try to do some mild hand exercises it will help you. Don't take too much of pain reducing medicine Unless you can't tolerate the pain.

Do both upper limb stretching exercises once or twice a day, this may resolve the spasm.
You have done TSH and started taking thyronorm 75mcg. TSH should be rechecked in 3 months after starting thyronorm and dose has to be adjusted as required.
Try T.Mobizox after food twice a day for 3 days and T. Pan 40 before food once a day for 3 days if the pain is not tolerable
Health Tips
avoid T. mobizox if u have renal problem like elevated Sr. Creatinine

Hypothyroidism-related muscle aches are often due to:
1. Slowed metabolism
2. Carnitine deficiency
3. Fluid accumulation
4. Electrolyte imbalances
5. Hormonal changes
If you're experiencing persistent muscle aches, consult your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

It seems that your symptoms could be related to your recent diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Muscle aches can occur with this condition, particularly if your thyroid hormone levels are not yet fully stabilized with treatment. The muscle strain you described can vary in duration, typically lasting from a few days to several weeks, depending on the underlying cause and your activity level.
In the meantime, gentle stretching and strengthening exercises can help alleviate muscle tension. Since you mentioned that the medications you’ve tried haven't been effective, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your condition more thoroughly and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
