I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Clean the wound with mild soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and cover it with a sterile bandage. If the bleeding continues or if the goat wasn't vaccinated, its important to get a tetanus shot and possibly consult a doctor for further treatment.

Your TSH levels have increased from 4.04 to 6.95.

_TSH Interpretation_

1. _Normal range_: 0.4-4.5 UmL (may vary slightly depending on the lab)
2. _Your result_: 6.95 UmL (elevated)

_Elevated TSH Indicates_

1. _Hypothyroidism_: Your thyroid gland might not be producing enough thyroid hormones.
2. _Thyroid gland dysfunction_: The increase in TSH suggests that your thyroid gland is not functioning optimally.

_Consult a Doctor_

1. _Endocrinologist_: A specialist who deals with hormonal imbalances and thyroid disorders.
2. _Primary Care Physician (PCP)_:
    - If you don't have an endocrinologist, start with your PCP.
    - They'll evaluate your results, medical history, and perform a physical examination.

_Seriousness_

1. _Mild hypothyroidism_: Your TSH level is mildly elevated, which might not require immediate attention.
2. _Monitoring and treatment_: However, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the best course of action and prevent potential complications.

Please schedule an appointment with an endocrinologist or your PCP to discuss your test results and determine the next steps.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing residual pain from your previous pleural effusion. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you may benefit from using a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like diclofenac (Voltaren) gel applied to the affected area for localized relief. It's important to follow the recommended dosage instructions for any medication you take. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
