Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi Geeta
I am curious to know even the results of your free T3 and free T4, in this moment that you have 2 months with Thyronorm 50 mcg ,So i can understand the situation of your actual thyroid function and if the dose of thyronorm is enough.
Anyway your TSH is slighty high this means that you have a subclinical hypothyroidism.For some people, hypothyroidism can contribute to joint and muscle problems.But your TSH values are not so high to have a significant role for the symptoms of pain and foot swell.The problem of pain in backbone and knees and the swelling in your foot in my opinion are due to a rheumatological problem so i suggest to meet a rheumatologist in your area.
If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
