Hello,

There is no mention of current or very recent TSH and T4 levels. With a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30.64 kgs/Sq. meter) you are already in grade 1 obesity. Looking at your height your ideal body weight should be about 58 kgs. This shows mostly the hypothyroidism is not in control. In a well controlled person TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L. So please check that. Because in hypothyroidism muscle and joint pain is quite common. Other problems mentioned could be associated with obesity. So please check and thyroid function and come back.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar, Diabetologist
