Hello
Pain in the arms , with burning sensation taking synthyroid for hypothyroidism , could be polymyositis or PMR polymyalgia rheumatica , with headache fatigue and lethargy
I would like you to get ESR + CK level done , though the treatment of both the diseases is steroids.
Synthyroid dose could be low , cause it also causes polyneuropathy or myopathy, increasing the dose can help
Take care
