hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with two most possibilities to fit your condition .these include

1.first possibility is,HYPOTHYROIDISM;due to stoppage of medicine your TSH levels increased and cause your sufferings.

blood test for INCREASED TSH levels may confirm the diagnosis.

don't stop the medicine

2.second possibility is CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS; is degenerative changes in the cervical spine caused by hypothyroidism.

MRI scanning for cervical spine may confirm the diagnosis.

I hope this is helpful for you, thank you
