I take 125 levothyroxine, buspirone, Lipitor, metoprolol, and lisinopril and atorvastatin. I still have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism but my T-shirt is always in range. I have terrible right knee and hip joint pain. Is joint pain also a symptom of my hypothyroidism and why do I have symptoms even though my Tsh is in range. My dr asked me if I am depressed but I say no because I am ambitious but I just feel physically tired. I was also diagnosed with anxiety and bipolar but I always wonder if these are misdiagnosis because I actually have just had a very stressful ten years. I only feel depression occasionally and it only lasts a couple of hours. I never ever have high bursts of energy. My anxieties are actually situational real problems.
I am in a lot of pain with my right leg. The pain moves around a lot mostly in my lower right leg and is worse when I lie down. I am fed up with my pcp always focusing on mental health because I feel physically tired, weak, in pain. My muscular weakness started about 12 years ago and is getting so bad that I scoot down the stairway in my home on my behind. I also am loosing my balance all the time. I also am becoming more and more hearing impaired. I think it is just too much for a pcp to take in. What kind of a specialist should I ask to see.
Thank you and don’t feel bad if you don’t know. Any suspicions will be appreciated.
