I'm on Levo and all my vit levels are good although my ferritin was very slightly over normal range the aches are particularly bad in my neck shoulders and arms does anyone else experience this? Or is it likely to be unrelated to my Hashimotos?

Why do I ache so much?
How long's it been since you had that raise in levo? Has it been 6 weeks yet? Have you had blood tests done recently? I'd guess that you may need another raise in dose.
I've been on 125 since May 5th I'm planning another medicheck next week, on 100 levo my TSH was 3.9 so I hoped the 25 increase would sort me out I felt some improvement but feels like I'm going downhill a bit again fatigue and serious muscle aches and fatigue?
Pain can be common on levothyroxine, particularly if your dose is too low, or you don't convert levo into sufficient T3. T4 (levothyroxine) is inactive and it had to convert to T3 which is the only active hormone required in our receptor cells. I experienced widespread joint/muscle pain on levo. Some people get diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Yes I had severe widespread pain on Levo got the fibro dx and then when I switched to NDT all gone!
How long have you been on Levo ? I was 16 years and would never go back. If you ever decide to go NDT route there are some rare docs who will prescribe ... Failing that I'm sure if you get to that decision someone will PM you.
