What Causes Soreness All Over Body In The Mornings?

default
Posted on Wed, 25 Feb 2015
Question: Every morning when I wake up, my entire body is so sore...aches tremendously. I am 45. Female. I take only thyroid medicine which is 125mg daily. I had my thyroid removed in 2004 (hyperthyroidism). It takes until late afternoon for the aches to end---mostly, but not completely.

Brief Answer:
Thyroid

Detailed Answer:
I am sorry to learn about your medical problem.

When I see someone like you in my practice I order the following in addition to a thorough physical examination :

CBC
CMP
TSH
Free T4
25 hydroxy vitamin D

The above evaluation screens for potential causes of your symptoms, such as
Anemia
Liver or kidney or electrolyte problems
Inadequately treated thyroid
Vitamin D deficiency

For example, I aim for a TSH of 0.5 to 2.5 with the appropriate thyroid dose, with a free T4 close to the higher end of normal.So if this is not the caee, I adjust the dose of synthroid to ensure target levels are achieved and maintained. Once this is accomplished, if the symptoms do not improve then the cause is not thyroid related.

Note: For more information on hormonal imbalance symptoms or unmanaged diabetes with other comorbid conditions, get back to us & Consult with an Endocrinologist. Click here to book an appointment.
