title: [Muscle pain. De Quervain throiditis].
abstract: A 62-year-old female patient presents with myalgia, dysphagia and daytime fatigue. Clinical examination is normal. Laboratory results show a hyperthyroidism and an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Clinical presentation, an ultrasound and further examinations suggest a thyroiditis de Quervain. A treatment with NSAR is started. After eight weeks the thyroid hormones return to normal and the patient is asymptomatic.
