Not Doc Don here and not a Dr.. a cold body enhances effects of gout.. 
crystals likely to form between joints.. see for yourself how heat over 
affected area relieves pain.

also in hypothyroidism there is accumulation of a substance called mucin in 
tissues causing edema.. this is most noticeable in persons showing carpal 
tunnel syndrome due to nerve compression.

all the best..

Doc Don -- how about gout?  I am on synthroid; perhaps I should increase the 
dosage?

Thanks in advance -- dave
