Hi dear user I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Disc desiccation is a degenerative condition that can be very painful. You can do a number of things to alleviate the pain related to disc desiccation. Some of the treatement options are: Massage therapy, Physiotherapy, Pain killers and relaxants for at least some temporary relief; Weight Loss-because you are overweight and there is a good chance that weight loss could relieve pressure on the affected disc. Chiropractic Care Surgery -if you experience severe pain and have already tried all other treatments. My advice is to talk with your doctor about the right treatement for you and how much time will it take to total recovery. About your thyroid problem it is very important to consult an endocrinologist for the follow-up and the dose adjustement of Thyronorm accordingly to the thyroid test results. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wish you good health.
