Are some kinds of pain associated with too much
>T3 in the system?


Increase in thyroid medication doesn't always feel better, even if you need 
the increase.  A few years ago when I increased, I felt like I could hardly 
talk and my left arm went numb.  I didn't like the feeling at all, so I went 
up another grain the next day.  (The aggressive approach, which isn't always 
correct.)  Anyway, I felt much better doing that and I could speak normally 
again.  However, the left arm has been numb ever since.

I remember the numbness from my childhood.  It's kind of like with low 
thyroid I couldn't tell the arm bothered me because the senses weren't 
working properly.  I remember as a little boy walking through the store with 
my mother, the arm would be numb, and as a teenager when I went hiking.  
But, I didn't feel if for a very long time before that thyroid increase, and 
I didn't really mind.

So, sometimes it restores our senses and we know we're in pain we didn't 
notice so much before.  Doc Don mentioned when people get treated, they 
suddenly complain a lot more.

Hopefully, your pain is only temporary.
