Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Your treatment is appropriate... Often a second or even a third drug is necessary for proper control of pressure.
The dose of thyroid replacement is based on TSH level
You may need more investigations like MRI spine, lab tests to evaluate thigh pain..
Keep following up with your doctor

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
