Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Good day,
Noted your concern. In hypothyroidism, you may get thickening of tissues in wrist and in legs called as Carpel tunnel syndrome and Tarsel tunnel syndrome respectively. They can cause this numbness in hands and legs. Besides, in auto immune hypothyroidism, there can be associated auto immune Vitamin B1 deficiency rarely ( pernicious anemia) which also can cause numbness in hands and feet. Diabetes is another disease to rule out. You may need to visit a internal medicine doctor or an endocrinologist to evaluate further
