A symptom of low body temperature
Musculoskeletal Strains
Sprains and strains of tendons, ligaments, and muscles might persist inappropriately in Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome sufferers. For example, shoulder strains may take too long to heal in weight lifters. Calf muscle strains may recur too frequently, too easily, and last too long in an aerobics instructor. When the fluid retention is in the joints of the chest around the breast bone or in the tissues of the chest, it can cause significant chest pains. These chest pains can mimic myocardial infarction or heart attack. A few patients with Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome develop severe crushing chest pains for which they are rushed to the hospital. EKG and all other tests show no significant cardiac abnormalities. These patients’ chest pains may continue intermittently. After cardiac stress tests and other of the most reliable predictive tests available rule out cardiac abnormalities, the patients are left to find some other explanation for their chest pains. Occasionally, these chest pains can follow patterns of onset and resolution consistent with other symptoms of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome.
WS sufferers who have inappropriately nagging musculoskeletal problems, frequently find their musculoskeletal systems return to more appropriate levels of functioning with correction of their Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome.

Orthopedic and Chiropractic Therapies
Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome can result in muscle and joint aches, poor healing of musculoskeletal problems, and pinched nerve syndromes. Many things can cause muscle and joint pain, and pinched nerves. Thyroid system impairment is not an exception. The musculoskeletal complaints associated with Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome often seem to be related in some way to fluid retention. Since Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome is so easily treated and can have such a profound affect on the musculoskeletal system, it is a condition well worth considering. It can explain why some patients recuperate much more slowly than others from surgeries or accidents because of significant fluid retention and inflammation which can impair proper healing. The presence of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome can also explain, therefore, why some patients do not respond as favorably to orthopedic physical therapy and chiropractic therapy as well as others.
Where this comes from. A 2015 interview with Dr. Wilson on low body temperature and thyroid hormone expression is indexed on PubMed Central (Integrative Medicine: A Clinician's Journal). Wilson's Temperature Syndrome is not accepted by every medical body — read the disagreement in full.
