I have been on .125 mcg of synthroid for 13 days post RAI. I am still extremely constipated and was just wondering how long it takes for synthroid to kick in and your levels to come down. After RAI, my TSH was almost 100. I am also experiencing lower back pain and I don't know if this is due to the constipation of being hypo.
I had a colonoscopy in January of 2006 so I really don't believe the lower back pain and constipation is related to a GI disorder.
