Answers:
Graves' disease is a thyroid disorder characterized by goiter, exophthalmos, "orange-peel" skin, and hyperthyroidism!. It is caused by an antibody-mediated auto-immune reaction, but the trigger for this reaction is still unknown!. It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the world, and the most common cause of general thyroid enlargement in developed countries!. Major clinical signs include weight loss and muscle wasting, which in itself can cause unstable joints and so if the joints are unstable, due to muscle weakness, bet you they will hurt!. Is he receiving any treatment for his Graves Disease!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
