Weakness can be due to multiple reasons. Hypothyroidism was unlikely to be the culprit. Did you do anti TPO antibody which will help you guys to diagnose whether you require like long treatment. TSH should preferably between 0.5 an 5. Make sure that you get adequate sleep and your sleep hygiene is good. Incase if you have bad snoring, correct it first. If still pain is there, consider doing ESR, crp and RA factor to rule out any in.flammatory . A good physician will help you in this regard and also diagnose if you have any fibromyalgia or depression.
