Name changed as this is slightly embarrassing that I'm even asking this!
I do have hyper mobility syndrome and I do have a very heavy toddler at the moment. Who's not at nursery as much as usual due to the hols! So loads of lifting which is putting strain on lots of joints.
I also have hypothyroidism and have been having some ups and downs, latest was tsh 6.2 so I've been on a slightly higher dose for 2 weeks.
I've also just started my first periods after my son was born (am bf on demand, 15 mo).
I suppose it only matters in as much that I might see the Gp if there's potential for arthritis? Not that they can do much I know.
However, I'm really strong at the moment (aside a week or so when I was feeling thyroidy) and id say my joints are pretty strong, bar tight lower back at times. I was in a terrible state a few years ago, basically cfs and buckets of pain but caused by thyroid issues and the hypermobilty and loosing loads of weight.
Today there's been a big thunder storm after a lovely sunny day.
About 2 hours before it broke I noticed I was getting increasingly achey in the main bad joints; wrists shoulders, si joint, ankles. When it was going on I was in agony. Paracetamol and ibuprofen have mostly sorted me out!
I know people with arthritis notice the pain when the weather is bad - does anyone know if this mean I'm likely to have osteoarthritis in those areas or is it a feature of hypermobilty syndrome?
I know it could be correlation doesn't mean causation etc - another other possible explanation is hormones, possible ovulation or period (they're not regular yet.)
The amount of pain all
Over so suddenly was bizarre
