I was on Synthroid for about 8 years, and found it was giving me severe pain in my hip. My doctor was uninterested and said this was impossible, so I found another doctor who listened (even though he didn't believe me either) and he switched me to Eltroxin. This made no difference, but at least this doc sent me for physiotherapy, which helps a lot. Now I am getting bad pains in my shoulder, which go away when I stop taking the Eltroxin for a few days. Anybody have similar experiences? Anybody find a solution to this kind of problem? Thanks to all.
HI, I have been having hip/leg pain for more then a year now and i take synthroid. i had no idea this medication could cause anything like this but now I'm reading all this side effects online, i can not believe it. i will go to my doctor and talk about this side effect and see what he says, i will let you know as soon as i know anything, my other side effects are, itching, hives, burning, hot flashes and i thought all these were because my thyroid had been removed couple years ago.
