Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
Yes it can be one of the side effects of synthiroid but also it can be sign of hyper-hypothiroidism so check your hormonal levels as soon as you can. Other possible causes are some neuralgias or psychosomatic diseases and serious diagnises are rare. So if symptoms persist consult neurologist or consider to change syntroid dosage in consultation with your doctor.
Wish you good health. Regards.
