What Causes Gaining Weight And Joint Pain With A Normal Blood Test?
I am 43 years old and hypothyroid for 4 years. I have been on synthroid that time. When I first went on it i felt great, lost weight and was doing well. Im tired, brain fog, gaining weight (quickly) joint pain and a few other hypo symptoms again. I am normally a very active person. My blood test show my levels are within normal range but, i sure don't feel like it. And my liver enzymes came back elevated.

Hello,
I carefully went through your query and understood your concern.
TSH level is a good indicator of levothyroxine dose.
So if TSH came back to normal ranges than the under active thyroid is corrected and another cause should be tried to find out for your symptoms.
High liver enzymes are not due to underactive thyroid.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
