Both my feet and hands were severely affected back then, and I don't think recovery for me to 100% was possible.

Hypothyroidism is known to affect compressive areas in the wrist and foot, where the ligaments are tight.

So you will want to make sure you are monitored properly with the thyroid testing. I keep my TSHs below 2.

Also you need to take the thyroid on an empty stomach to make sure it is absorbed well.
