How Can Left Abdominal Knots With Headaches Be Treated?

I have had a low grade fever for about 2 months now (99.5-100.5). I have hypothyroidism, and was diagnosed with that when I was pregnant with my now 8 month old. I have found several small knots on the left side of my abdomen. They are located from my pelvic bone to my belly button. Bloodwork shows no elevated white blood cell count. Head aches have increased, just had one that last 2 days. Any ideas?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history and complaints:
Low grade fever 2 months - hypothyroidism - was pregnant - have several knots on left side of my abdomen - and have headache also.

It looks that headache may be different problem if it is persisting for such a long in days ; Get an MRI of the brain and an opinion of a neurologist.

Low grade fever of 2 months should be investigated thoroughly, thyroid test and tests for granulomatous disorders like tuberculosis should be done.

The knots may be just be cutaneous lipomatosis, get a clinical examination and FNAC is required to get a proper diagnosis, just keeping in mind likely other diagnosis.
