TSH 77 indicates severe hypothyroidism. Start thyroxine as per doctor advice usually 50 to 100 mcg per day and adjust based on follow ups.

I am a female, 5 ft tall and 52 kg. I am suffering from knee pain, waist pain, and pain in several joints. I also have difficulty standing for long periods and cannot do heavy work with my hands. I am currently taking Eltroxin 50 mg for thyroid, and my latest thyroid level is 5.2. How can I get relief and cure these problems?

In my recent thyroid report, my T3 and T4 levels are within the permissible range, but my TSH level is very high at 12.43. I am feeling very tense. Could you please let me know if this is dangerous or not?
