What Is Thyroid Joint Pain?

As researchers continue to study the thyroid and its effects on the body, they are finding more and more connections with thyroid issues and joint pain. Normally, the thyroid releases hormones that help control the body’s metabolism. This allows the body to convert food that people eat into energy for daily activities. Without the thyroid functioning at its highest level, the body’s metabolism begins to get out of whack. When the thyroid begins to malfunction, hypothyroidism occurs, when the gland is underactive. This means the thyroid controls less of the body’s metabolism than normal. Since energy effects how your muscles feel, it can have a very large effect. As the hypothyroidism becomes worse and worse, fluid begins to surround the joints when a person’s metabolism begins to slow. This leads to pain throughout the body.

The thyroid has always played a big part in the growth and development of the human body. Without the regulation of the thyroid gland, the body would be out of sync, and the results would be detrimental to someone’s health and wellbeing. Even though the thyroid gland is very small, located just below the Adam’s Apple around the throat, it has a big responsibility. Its functionality helps secrete hormones that influence the temperature of the body, developmental growth, metabolism, and blood pressure.
 

Blood pressure is helpful in alerting medical personnel of a patients’ risk for hypertension. Hypertension may lead to pain in the chest and back, having a hard time breathing, weakness of the body, numbness, vision difficulties, and trouble speaking. If these symptoms continue to reveal themselves, a heart attack might be on the horizon.

 
Between the thyroid and blood pressure, they both share connections with one another that may show warning signs to a patient and their doctor.

The thyroid is an endocrine gland located at the base of the neck, just below the Adam’s apple. It appears to be divided into a right and a left lobe, each about the size of a plum split into two. The two lobes are connected by a group of thyroid tissues called isthmus.

The thyroid gland produces two hormones that are released into the bloodstream. One is called triiodothyronine (T3), which is made up of 3 iodine atoms. The other is Thyroxine (T4), and it’s made up of 4 iodine atoms. Once in the body, T4 is converted into T3 and it’s this T3, either synthesized from T4 or secreted by the thyroid gland directly as T3 that is biologically active. T3 is primarily needed for the proper functioning of body cells, but it also influences bone formation, muscles, heart health, and cholesterol levels.
