If you start feeling inexplicable pain and weird numbness in your extremities this may be a sign of myopathy. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause it. It is a disease that affects the skeletal muscles. The white blood cells attack the muscles and the adjoining blood vessels resulting in muscle weakness, cramps, and spasms. Over time, the abnormal secretion can damage the nerves, the transmitters of the brain and spinal cord. Also, some people may experience joint pain and severe joint stiffness. All of these symptoms won’t go away without the suitable medications and maybe even additional alternative therapy.
