Hello,



In my opinion, lichen planopilaris and your muscle ache are different conditions and are not related to each other. But lichen planopilaris can be associated with itchy skin lesions over legs and arms. Your muscle ache could be due to underlying thyroid disorder.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
