Please check the results and suggest. I have attached my test report. My doctor has asked me to take Thyrox and Glycomate every day?

I had a blood test yesterday, and everything was normal except for my free T3 level. My thyroid test results are: TSH: 2.33 microIU/mL, Free T4: 1.33 ng/mL, and Free T3: 8.4 pg/mL. Is this level abnormal? Does it mean I have hyperthyroidism? I read on the internet that it is not curable and requires lifelong medication. Is my result serious? I also experience hand pain and sensitivity to cold climates, but I feel fine in sunny weather. I am worried about my T3 levels.

My mother is 60 years old and has been taking Eltroxin 75 mcg for the past two months, as her TSH was 5.00 at that time. Prior to that, she had been taking Eltroxin 50 mcg for the last ten years. She recently had a thyroid test and the results are: T3: 0.90 ng/mL T4: 9.30 microgram/dL TSH: 16.23 mIU/L I do not understand why her TSH has increased so significantly despite taking her medication regularly. Please advise what steps we should take now.
