Can Painful And Swollen Knees Be The Side Effect Of Taking Thyronorm?

i started taking thyronome 12.5 mg for my raised TSH level about 10days back. My legs below my knees feel swollen and pain. Even feet are swollen from arouond ankles. Can this be due some side effect of the drug? I tend to get allergies from medicines quite often. XXXX 57 yrs.

Hi,

Suggestive of deep vein thrombosis or cellulitis. Based on the given history you seem to be suffering from deep vein thrombosis until proved other wise. It is unlikely to be due to thyronorm. It is due to clot formation in the deep vein of the legs, the clot may get dislodged and can cause harmful effects like stroke or heart problem. I advise you to consult your treating doctor immediately for further clinical assessment and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
