Spinoff to Hypothyroidism...
I think my condition is getting worse. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism over two years ago, and just about 6 mos ago, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
For the last few days, my ankles blew up like balloons. Both feet, calves and knees were swollen as well. They were so swollen that it looked like I had someone else's limbs attached to my body. Bugged me out...
Now, only my right leg is very swollen - so swollen that I can't even bend my ankle.
Has this ever happened to anyone with Hypothyroidism before? I'm freaking out!

I've had hypothyroidism since I was 17 and that has NEVER happened to me! I would go to the doctor immediately. Maybe they need to increase your meds.
