Inflammation or T3

I’ve developed a burning feeling in the back of my upper arms I’ve had it for about 6 weeks now and now travelling down to my right hip, I feel like it’s right inside my muscles as if an elastic band tied to tight and not feeling that well ( no temperature or symptoms of the virus . I’ve been prescribed Celebrex 100mcg , from my GP on a telephone consultation and have been taking for about a week and no improvement do you think it’s worth increasing or decreasing my T3 ( I reduced in December) and currently taking 12.5 in a split dose with 100mcg thyroxine both levels were in the upper 3rd. I am unable to speak to my Endo and won’t be able to speak to my GP until Tuesday at the earliest, has anyone had anything similar? Just looking for an answer until I can get my bloods done.

Very interesting thank you, I had some naproxen that I was issued back in October when I had a knuckle replacement on my right hand and most of my pain is in the right side so will definitely explore the nerve damage although all healed , I didn’t want to take it long term so my GP said this was a good alternative it was a telephone consultation so no examination, will try it slowly for know to see if it helps .

Thank you all my vitamins are pretty good and I supplement with D3 & K2 and a good vitamin B & B12 and a magnesium supplement, this feel like it’s deep in my muscles , I will have blood tests done when the virus is over , the anti inflammatories are easing it so will manage it until the GP surgeries are back to normal 🤞
