10 Hashimoto's Disease Symptoms

Symptom #5: Muscle Pain
Muscle pains and aching joints are just considered a part of life to many people. We can wake up one morning with aches and pains with no idea of how we got them, and they can disappear just as mysteriously as they arrived. Sometimes, though, they will have a very specific cause and Hashimoto’s disease is one such cause.
It is not completely clear why Hashimoto’s disease causes aching joints and muscle pains. One suggestion is that it could be down to abnormal oxidative metabolism that results from a hormone imbalance. This can lead to impaired functioning of the muscles and even muscle injury.
