Since 2014 I have had servere hip pain, unable to sleep for pain and muscle tension. Thousands of pounds later on physiotherapist that didn’t help. Levothyroxine is my medication. I was told it was my gall bladder - so it was removed. Then told I needed a hysterectomy- operated 12 month ago. I stopped my medication for four days and I feel the best I have done for years. No pain in my hip, walked three mile and had a good nights sleep. I could even tie my own shoe lace which in itself is a miracle. Called my doctor who insists it’s not a side effect of my medication and to go back on it immediately. I also found that my check wasn’t tight anymore and I could breathe properly. Any suggestions. The obvious one is take the medication again until my symptoms come back again. Appreciate any thoughts from someone who has had the same problems.

Thankyou
