Hi,

Hypothyroidism has an association with rheumatoid arthritis however rheumatoid arthritis usually affects small joints and joints like knee are usually spared. Also, knee joint pain has another association with patients whose hypothyroidism is poorly managed. Please get your thyroid function test done and get the levels of thyroid hormones if they are not in normal limits. Plantar fasciitis can be managed well with insoles for shoes and also with splints meant for plantar fasciitis. These are easily available in surgical stores.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
