cannot say in her particular case without an exam AND being a bit overweight an strain the knees. Having low thyroid can cause weight gain.. but it does not directly affect the joints. If someone previously had very high thyroid due to an autoimmune disease that burns it up and out... this would affect joints and result later in not having a thyroid.
