Your TSH levels are very high and you should start with 100mcg Thyronorm. Take one tablet daily for 3 months and after 3 months again check your TSH levels. This treatment has to be continued for at least 2 to 3 years however it is a lifelong treatment but often gets controlled within 3 years. For your leg pain you can take tablet Zerodol-SPtablet daily for now.
