Yes, hypothyroidism can contribute to tendonitis. The condition can lead to decreased metabolic activity and altered collagen production, which may weaken tendons and make them more susceptible to injury and inflammation. Additionally, muscle weakness and joint stiffness associated with hypothyroidism can increase the risk of overuse injuries like tendonitis. Proper management of thyroid hormone levels can help alleviate these symptoms and reduce the risk of tendon-related issues.

Yes, hypothyroidism can cause goiter.

This enlargement can lead to the formation of a goiter, which is an abnormal swelling of the thyroid gland. Iodine deficiency is another common cause of goiter associated with hypothyroidism, as iodine is essential for hormone production.
