"Some of the nerve problems associated with hypothyroidism (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome and "foot drop") are blamed on compression of the nerves, from swelling of surrounding tissues, but the evidence is clear that hypothyroidism causes swelling in the nerve cells themselves. For example, in hypothyroidism, nerves are slow to respond to stimulation, and their conduction of the impulse is slow. These changes are the same as those produced by hyper-hydration caused by other means. Hypothyroid nerves are easily fatigued, and fatigued nerves take up a large amount of water. Swelling of the spinal cord is probably responsible for the "spinal stenosis" commonly seen in domestic animals and people; the mobility of intracellular water molecules is distinctly increased in patients with compression of the spinal cord (Tsuchiya, et al., 2003; Ries, et al., 2001).
The hyperhydration of hypothyroidism has been known to cause swelling and softening of cartilage, with deformation of joints, but somehow it has never dawned on surgeons that this process would lead to deformation of intervertebral disks."

I have had many people in my life that have dealt with extreme pain issues, and more times than not their pain was caused by unlikely culprits. Unfortunately, nowadays the remedy for any pain one has is to mask the pain with pills, which only exacerbates the problem.
My mom's pain came from years of pain killers making her unusually sensitive to pain that would not bother a normal person. My dad's extremely painful rheumatoid artheritis was from foods he was eating. When he subscribed to the Blood Type Diet, his pain was relieved and he ditched his medications for good. My husband dealt with extreme lower back pain which turned out to be a bacterial infection. In all three of those cases if they all had their way they would have just taken the pain killers the doctors prescribed them and that would have been the end of it. People in pain need to break away from doctors that have not done their job, finding cures to curable problems, and hand out pills instead. I would like this thread to be about unusual reasons for pain to give people possible answers and cures for their pain.
"Pain perception is associated with different phenotypic characteristics such as sex, eye, and hair color. Hence, it is assumed that ABO blood type can also affect pain perception."
"In our study, an interesting finding was that blood type A was found to be at the highest rate in patients with RA and AS with erosive arthritis, which are the most common rheumatic diseases, and blood type O was found to be at the highest rate in patients with SLE, SSc, and SjS, which are among the connective tissue ..."
"Acute or subacute bacterial or viral infections are unlikely in view of the length of this patient's illness and lack of fever, night sweats, and chills. Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Campylobacter, and Clostridium difficile can lead to abdominal symptoms and a reactive spondyloarthritis with low back/sacroiliac inflammation...."
"If left untreated, it may lead to severe spinal dysfunction and back pain with fevers. Although these are infections in your spine, there are other infections as well that can cause similar symptoms. For example, kidney infections or pelvic inflammatory disease are other reasons for back pain."
"People with reactive arthritis may experience back pain due to: Spondylitis, inflammation of the vertebrae in the spinal column, or. Sacroiliitis, inflammation of the joints that connect the spine to the pelvis."

Association between ABO blood types and pain perception - PubMed
Participants with blood type B displayed the lowest mechanical pain sensitivity and the blood type AB group exhibited the strongest conditioned pain modulation effect. These findings emphasize the necessity of considering ABO blood types in future pain research.
