Hands and feet swollen
Since past 1 week my hands and feet are swollen a little. One day after I woke up both of my arms were in immense pain. After that I did warm compression and the pain subsided but still mild pain remained at my wrists, elbows, knuckles.
Every morning after waking up I see my palms and back of my hands swollen. When I step out of the bed my feet hurts especially my heels but throughout the day the swelling and pain subsides.
Since yesterday I'm noticing my feet have swollen a little.
Currently I'm on krimson 35 and Osure M for pcod. It's not been a month since I've started this medication. And another thing is that I'm off my thyroid medication ( Thyronorm 12.5) since 3-4 months. My gynac told me to stop taking Thyronorm. Earlier this month I checked my TSH levels it was around 3.
I always have home cooked meals, my bowel movements and urine is fine.
I'm worried need some insights on what could be wrong with me.
Could it be because of thyroid or uric acid or any other issue?

Likely Causes Based on Symptoms and History:
1. 🟠 Hypothyroidism-related fluid retention
Even if TSH is around 3, stopping Thyronorm may cause mild hypothyroid rebound.
Can lead to:
Morning stiffness
Swelling in hands/feet
Heaviness in joints
2. 🟣 Hormonal drug effects (Krimson 35 + Osure M)
Both used in PCOD.
Krimson 35 (a hormonal pill) can occasionally cause:
Fluid retention
Joint discomfort
Leg heaviness
Metformin (Osure M) can sometimes cause mild B12 deficiency, which may mimic nerve pain/stiffness.
3. 🔵 Possible autoimmune or early inflammatory joint issue (RA-like)
Morning joint stiffness, knuckle/wrist pain, and swelling subsiding throughout the day may mimic early rheumatoid arthritis or reactive arthritis.
🧪 Recommended Tests:
Test Reason
TSH, FT4 To reassess thyroid status
Anti-TPO antibody For autoimmune thyroiditis (if TSH abnormal)
CBC, ESR, CRP General inflammation
Vitamin D, B12 Low levels may worsen fatigue & pain
Uric acid To rule out crystal-related pain
Rheumatoid factor + Anti-CCP If joint pain/swelling persists
✅ What You Can Do Now:
Warm compression + gentle stretching
Especially in the morning for hands and heels.
Hydration + anti-inflammatory foods
Turmeric milk, ginger, omega-3s (chia, flaxseed).
Temporarily limit salt intake
To reduce fluid retention if hormonal.
Discuss with doctor:
Whether to restart low-dose Thyronorm.
Whether to reassess Krimson 35 side effects.
⚠️ When to Follow Up:
If swelling increases
If joint pain worsens, migrates, or persists >3 weeks
If fatigue and stiffness become daily
✅ Conclusion:
Most likely a combination of mild thyroid imbalance + drug-related water retention, but autoimmune causes should be ruled out with tests. The condition is reversible with timely intervention.
