For joint pain related to thyroid problems and calcium deficiency, your doctor may recommend blood tests, including thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, and T4), calcium, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone levels. Treatment may involve correcting the thyroid imbalance with medication, taking calcium and vitamin D supplements, and using painkillers, such as paracetamol or NSAIDs, if needed.
