Painful shoulders

I had my thyroid out in June. My right shoulder was a little painful before surgery, but now both of them keep me awake at night. I just had an MRI but was wondering if anybody else has pain in the shoulders that goes down the arms. Little finger feel sort of numb also. I can't imagine how surgery could do this but am at a loss, my levels are all ok. Had RAI also

Edjolima,

Can you post your thyroid results and ranges and results you have for ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate if they've been tested? Levels being okay is just an opinion. It is helpful to see results and where in range they are.

Have B12 at 874, Iron at 142, Ferritin at 61. don't have the others.

Edjolima,

Do you have the lab ref ranges for iron and ferritin (the figures in brackets after the results)?

B12 is good.
