Abstract

In hypothyroidism, symptoms such as muscle cramps, pain, and stiffness are common but myopathy as a predominant feature is an uncommon presentation. We describe a patient with primary hypothyroidism who presented with a clinical picture of myopathy that normalized after 20 weeks of therapy with levothyroxine.
