Hypothyroidism and joint swelling
I had extremely high TSH value of 397 and was detected with hypothyroidism. My joints swelled up and i have asked to consult a rheumatologist. Now, the tsh level is better under control with medecines. Why rheumatologist? What is wrong? Can this be rheumatoid arthristis or gout? I am really worried.
