10. Musculoskeletal Issues.
With an overactive thyroid, there is a possibility of experiencing muscle aches and joint pain. Arms and legs suffer most, for example, having pain in the upper arms or calves.
With an underactive thyroid, the pain resembles fibromyalgia, a widespread achy pain all over the body. Other common symptoms are carpal tunnel syndrome (weakness and pain in the forearms, wrists, hands, and fingers) and tarsal tunnel syndrome (weakness and pain in the shins, ankles, feet, and toes). It’s important to note that pain has to be taken into account as a thyroid problem. [5]

Conclusion.
As follows from above, there’s a whole range of various symptoms that might appear with thyroid disorders. This is because the thyroid controls almost every process taking place within the body. Symptoms are usually unspecific, and having one of them doesn’t necessarily mean there’s something wrong with thyroid function. But if some of the symptoms were present for a while without other possible reasons and explanations, it is a good idea to see a doctor and get diagnosed to avoid serious complications.
