I am on the 25 mg dose of Levoxyl for hypothyroidism. Since I have been on it, I'm having pretty bad joint pain in my hands. It even hurts to shake hands with someone. I tried to get my doc. to switch me to another type of medicine, but he said the Levoxyl was not causing my joint pain. Are there any other types of Meds to treat hypothyroidism and what are they? Thanx!
