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 booked an appointment on Saturday. I have TSH of 12 and T3 and T4 are normal but my report is two months old. Should I get my thyroid levels checked before consulting the doctor?

Namaste sir, my name is Uma. I am using Thyiox 62.5 MCG since 6 months. Yesterday I did a thyroid test. Please see my report and suggest whether to use the same dose or make any changes?

I recently got my thyroid checked for the first time. My report shows T4 slightly higher than the reference range by 0.1. Should I consult a doctor for this?
