Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You are suffering with the shiny ankles, constipation, and water retention. You are taking the tablet levothyroxine, to maintain the thyroid level at .002 as you were a thyroid cancer suferer.
The shiny ankles, constipation, and water retention are the result of hypo thyroid state. They can be controlled by other means not related to th hypothyroid medicines.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms hydrochlor thiazide in a fraction, and a mild laxative.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to maintain a good health.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
