Cause #7: Underactive Thyroid
The thyroid is a gland that is located in the neck and is responsible for releasing various hormones into our bodies. These hormones affect our metabolism and a shift in the balance of these hormones can affect us in a number of ways. An underactive thyroid is a condition where the gland is not producing and releasing as many hormones as it should be.
An underactive thyroid will result in various symptoms including but not limited to weight gain, physical weakness and fatigue. Another fairly common symptom is a frozen shoulder. It can also lead to pains and stiffness in other joints and muscles in the body.
