Pains knees back shoulders

Bad pains cud I be on too low dose eltroxin 25 g only started 6 weeks ago due another test n a week

You could very well be. 25 mcg isn't even a starter dose - unless you're very old. (And, for the record, I'm 73 and don't consider myself very old! lol)

But, you'll know when you get that next test done. Don't forget to get a print-out of the results!

Also request vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested too

Plus thyroid antibodies

Could any of those cause muscle pain

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to Cody6711]

Low Vit D can cause muscle and joint aches and pains.

Would that show up n a blood test without testing specially for it

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to Cody6711]

You would have to do a Vit D blood test. If GP wont do it then you can do a home fingerprick blood spot test for £29 with an NHS lab which offers this test to the general public:
