Lump Between Shoulder Blades, Ankle Swelling, Normal Urine Test, Prescribed Synthroid. What Is The Cause?

Thanks for the query.
Have you gained weight recently ?
Do you prefer cool or warm environmental temperature ?
Do you have constipation or loose stools ?
Has the swelling between the shoulder blades increased in size rapidly in a few weeks or a few months to years ?
Do you sweat excessively, have tremors of hands, feelings of anxiety and nervousness, decreased sleep ?
According to your history, the symptom of swollen ankles can be attributed to hypothyroidism because your thyroid levels were not under control. On the other hand if you were over medicated with a high dose of Thyroid medication you could have developed hyperthyroidism and this may have also caused swollen ankles.
Kindly provide your latest thyroid hormone values for me to be in a better position to help you in this regard.
Swelling between shoulder blades is less likely due to Cushing's disease since it is associated with severe disturbing pain. More likely causes are fat cyst or lipoma, connective tissue swellings like fibromas, neuromas etc. I would suggest you to get the swelling examined by a General Surgeon who will be better trained to examine and decide the diagnosis and management.
Kindly keep your thyroid levels in regular monitoring and within normal levels as much as possible. Eat a balanced diet. Drink 1-2 litres of water day. Do daily brisk walking for 40 minutes a day. This will help maintain normal hormonal balance and facilitate in weight loss as well. Avoid fatty or junk diet, colas, caffeine, smoking ro alcohol.
