Hello,

It is muscular pain arising out of hypothyroidism. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

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

Take care

Regards,
