305. Autoimmune Joint and Muscle Pain and Its Connection to Hashimoto's

This is something that isn't really talked about much in the thyroid community because it's one of those more rare symptoms, but you WILL see it listed on my Lab and Symptom Checklist. It’s one of those symptoms that you might check the box for and really be surprised that it can be tied to your thyroid! It may show itself as joint pain, muscle pain, stiffness, frozen shoulder, and these are all real symptoms. I even see questions in my Girl, Fix Your Thyroid Facebook group on this just this topic…people want to know that relationship between hypothyroidism and neck, shoulder, muscle stiffness and joint pain. So I will break it all down for you from it possibly being a basic injury, sport injury, exercise injury, overuse injury, or all the way to tying it back to the thyroid and hypothyroidism.
