I've had trouble with bursitis in my left shoulder off and on for years. I had my thyroid removed in 2000. (The doctors thought it was cancer at first, but it turned out to be Hashimotos disease. Unfortunately, my parathyroids were also damaged during the surgery.) Now I have bursitis in both shoulders. I went to the orthopedic doctor this week and got cortisone shots in both shoulders. I had cortisone shots in my left shoulder and therapy abut 6 years ago. Anyway, the doctor told me this time about the connection between thyroid disease and bursitis. This was the first time I had heard that.
I also noticed that you mentioned an irregular heartbeat. In the last few years I've had episodes of rapid heart beat. My heart rate would go up to 175 and stay that way for hours. I had to go on a beta blocker. I wonder, is this related to the thyroid disease, too?
