Brief Answer:
Thyroid panel?
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have gone through your query and understood your concern.
Unusual sudden weight gain , back , joint pain , sore breasts and acne issues can be suggestive of hypothyroidism.
If you were my patient i will ask to do a thyroid panel(TSH,fT3,fT4 and TPO antibodes.
Hypothyroidism is often coexistent with high prolactin level.
In patients with primary hypothyroidism, increased levels of TRH can cause to rise prolactin levels and these patients may have galactorrhea or breast discharge.
So,your sore breasts and yellow breast discharge can be symptoms of high prolactin level.
For this reason ,i suggets to repeat the prolactin test.
Let me know the result and i will be happy to guide you further.
Best regards.
