Dosage

Hello.  I was wondering if I could get your opinion.  I was on 112 mg of Synthroid.  My results were as follows:

TSH  .87 (.67-4.5)
Free  T4  1.17

I feel a little hyper.  I suspect that I do better with my TSH a little higher.  Would the next step be to drop down to 100 mg of Synthroid?  Thank you for your opinion.

the main problem is pain in left buttock down to knee, and also pain from shoulder to neck, could it be from high dose of tyroxin or something else.

Levels look fine, but some individuals do better with a high-ish TSH; talk to your doctor about a trial of lower dose.
