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?

Joint pain and weakness with high TSH (5.2) may be thyroid related. Also check Vitamin D, calcium, and autoimmune factors. Continue Eltroxin and consult a rheumatologist if pain persists.

I have thyroid. My recent test report shows T3 118, T4 7.21 and TSH 3rd generation 6.89. I am having a nasty headache at the top of my head and pain around my eyes. Can anyone suggest some medicines?

I recently had a general checkup. I have noticed that I have been gaining weight over the past few weeks. Could you please review my results and share your advice?

Hi Sir, We recently did a thyroid test for my wife, who gave birth 5 months ago. The results are: T3: 2.96, T4: 0.54, TSH: 62. Is this normal after delivery, or should we start treatment? If treatment is started, will her thyroid levels come down to normal?
