It takes several weeks for thyroid meds to build in your system. What dose of meds are you on?

If you are concerned go to the ER or call the doctor. Its better to be safe than sorry.

Hi Jon, today i woke up with almost no pain in that arm, i am wondering if it can be carpel tunnel? I have had so many heart tests done in the past and all were normal so i dont want to go to the ER, I am thinking either its carpel tunnel orthe thyroid meds and also with my thyroid being out of control

I have a thyroid problem too and it can affect everything. If you just started that dose or are not on the right amount of meds it could be that.
Good luck, hopefully someone else will be able to help you.
