Brief Answer:
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
Sorry to learn about your wife's neck pain and other symptoms.
It seems to be unlikely due to the thyroid.
If her TSH it was not very high at the beginning, before eltroxin was started, for example less than 10 , then it tends to recover on its own without requiring any treatment.
This is particularly true if the thyroid antibodies are negative.
The tests for this are
anti TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase)
anti Thyroglobulin
Regardless, other reasons for her symptoms must be explored.
When I see someone like her in my practice, I typically order the following tests in addition to a detailed physical examination:
CBC
Electrolytes
Calcium
HbA1c
Liver function tests
Kidney function tests
TSH
Free T4
anti TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase)
anti Thyroglobulin
25 hydroxy Vitamin D
