Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

What about the value of free T4? Do you have other symptoms? If TSH and free T4 are both high it is a secondary hyperthyroidism and when TSH is high but free T4 is low then it is a primary hypothyroidism. I don't think that joint pain is related with the TSH value. Better visit a doctor. For joint examination you can do some analysis like albumin, protein, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, calcium, phosphorus, uric acid. Do you have other symptoms related to the knees?

I recommend to see a doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Emilda Belortaja
