[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1851077, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=91261]@James Lyme[/USER], If you google causes of bone, joint and muscle pain there are myriads of possible causes. Yes, onset at when dosage of thyroxine changed suggests a temporal relationship but also I recall with my child/teenager on thyroxine that the doctor said it takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the change in dose to settle out and for a blood test to be able to show any reliable change in thyroid test results. Anything from infections to hormonal and nutritional disturbances and more can cause such symptoms. One's age, occupation, medication, family history may all come into it. But if your symptoms are affecting your sleep, ability to function etc that is something I would expect a doctor to take note of and look into. As a matter of interest I have been suffering for about 6 weeks from muscle/bone and joint aches requiring paracetamol for relief. I have been holding off seeing my doctor about it because I had been advised to change a medication (not thyroxine) and began carrying things in a new backpack about then there may have been temporal relationships involved. Once I have completed 4 weeks back on the original dose of said medication I will review things. Although from what I have read, headaches and any vision disturbances can be things that require urgent attention. [/QUOTE]
