I am now off my thyroid meds for two weeks and have another two weeks to go before my thyroid scan. For the last two days I have been having terrible pain in my right hand and wrist. Just came on all of a sudden..the pain is bad with a burning sensation in my hand..could this be due to going off my thyroid meds? I hate to call the doctor because the last time I saw him I wanted him to prescribe something for my fibro and he wanted me to wait until after I take the test.

Hi Jajadamom,


I'm not an expert on the hypo meds since I'm hyper but I think it probably doesn't take very long to start having symptoms if you go off the meds....at least from what I've read from others.
