I have soreness in upper and lower legs. Not aching, but just very sore. Sometimes especially at nite it is worse. Could this be a side effect of this drug? Only been on it for a couple of weeks.

This the first month taking Levothyroxine. As I get older my thryoid slows down. I have a few less severe symptoms. Hopefully by next month I can give this medicine a better rating.
