Your results are euthyroid. I can't see why you would be experiencing pain with those results but if the pain is worse since reducing Carbimazole dose to 5mg it is possible you may have become hyperthyroid. I would ask your GP to retest your thyroid levels now that you've been on the reduced dose for 2 months.
Ask your GP to test vitamin D, ferritin, B12 and folate which are commonly low/deficient in thyroid patients. When supplementing D3 vitD should be checked annually at least to ensure you are not over supplementing to toxic levels.

Hi there Clutter . ... it's been a while since I posted ... regarding muscle and joint pain ... can you please tell me if you are familiar with the condition Thyotoxic myopathy ...
as someone has contacted me to suggest that may be
what is causing the continuing pain .. after being declared Euthroid ... any opinions on that would be welcome
I'm sure the figures look good .. thank god .. but I remember these bad aches in my joints and muscles before I was told I had Graves .. and they disappeared on Carbimazole
I now do not take carb ... since that last blood test .. sorry if I didn't make that clear !
I will go see my GP again who doesn't know anything about Thyroids it seems ..and will ask him to do those blood tests you advised .
Should I stop the D3 for a while before I go there .. ?
Thank you for your help Clutter
That means more than a visit to my Endocrinologist .. or GP
