Welcome to the forum, Sandishaffer.

TSH 13 is very high for someone on Levothyroxine and indicates you were very undermedicated. If your TSH is still elevated that might be why you are experiencing swelling. TSH of patients on Levothyroxine should be just above or below 1.0 when optimally medicated.

Ask your endo for your results with the lab ref ranges every time bloods are tested. It enables you to monitor your own levels and helps members advise when you post a question.
