Hello, Thanks for the query. If she is on levothyroxine treatment for thyroidectomy, then it is essential that TSH levels should be maintained between 3 to 4 mU/L, so as to be free from any symptoms related to hypothyroidism. The pain being mentioned may also be due to inadequate dosa of levothyroxine, so please check what is the TSH value and whether dose of levothyroxine is adequate. Thanks
