What Is Causing Itchy Feet And Severe Joint Pain?
I have severly itcy feet, but only on my left foot. Scratching to the point of broken skin. Feet are dry and cracked. I recently was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (about 6 months ago). The armour thyroid medicine seems to have brought my levels up to almost normal; however I still have some symptoms such as carrying around an extra 10 -15 lbs. and now the weather is changing extremely cold hands and feet. Also I still have a lot of joint pain. My concern is the itchy feet. What would a visit to an endrocronlogist entail?

Hello,
The possibility of B complex deficiency or plantar eczema or allergy etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Atarax twice a day for five days.
Check for joint pain casative like arthritis or autoimmune disease or hypothyroidism or connective tissue disorders etc. Please consult your rheumatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
