I was interested in the symptoms you described.  On only Synthroid for
several years, with a lot more symptoms than when I first went on the  med, I too
suffer center chest pain (on the breast bone area), and horrible  stiffness and
joint pain in the hip area...to the point it is difficult to stand  from a
seated position.  It has been getting worse; and includes some very  low back
pain on one side.  I work in front of a computer all day long, so  attributed
this to just being too sedentary (I'm 52; a female).  Could this  be related to
my thyroid disorder?  I know my aching, hurting feet are  related, from what
I've read here.
