Joint pain thyroidectomy

I am a 55 year old male that has had my thryoid rewmoved. I have never had any joint pain prior to this, and now have pain in ankle and wrist joints only. My MD says that the synthroid dose is adequate. Any suggestions as to tests that might verify this. I have also been very sluggish in the afternoons.

Goal TSH is around 1.0 -- check your recent labs to make sure it's on target.

I am 52, have been hypothyroid (Hashi's) for 16 years. Now waiting for blood test results. Also, mildly anemic according to test results last summer but my former MD said it wasn't low enough to be symptomatic (even though I am symptomatic). Have had ankle and knee joint pain for several years. Unable to keep up with walking program. Currently have significant, bilateral hip pain and diffuse back pain. Body feels "on fire" at times. Fatigue is no longer manageable. Menopause has just confounded things. Saw new MD who has changed all of my HRT as the ones I was taking interfered with thyroid hormone. Any comments? How should I be treating my anemia?
