You need to get tested.
How often do you get your TSH levels checked and adjust the dose of it?
It should be done atleast 3 to 6 months once, if not done do it.
Check your fasting blood sugar levels to rule out diabetes.
The pain can be anything from a neurological cause to referred gastric pain or gallbladder pain
You can get an xray spine, ultrasound abdomen, x ray chest, Echo to see if everything is normal
Hope this helps
Best Regards
