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
