Pain in hypothyroid patients is due to myopathy. Myopathy is disease of the muscle and it can cause severe thigh and calf pain. So I think that her thyroid is not under control and that is the cause of the her pain. Can you send me her T3 ,T4 ,TSh level as till they are not normal for 3 months her pain is going to stay.
