Hello Ram,

Thanks so much writing.

According to the National Institutes of Health, ankle, feet, and leg swelling can occur with hyopthyroidism.

And you said you were taking a medication. You may want to listen to this audio interview with Dr. Theo Friedman, a board-certified endocrinologist specializing in challenging patients with thyroid, pituitary, adrenal and fatigue disorders. Which medication are you taking?

Have your symptoms become worse over time? If so, you may want to check in with your doctor.
