A member asked:

18 months after thyroidectomy , my tsh is 30. my dr just increased my armor. my throat is really achy. is that a symptom of high tsh?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High TSH: is an indication of hypothyroidism. It can cause many symptoms, but achy throat is not one of them. You should consult with your doctor, so he can investigate other possible causes. Good news is that hypothyroidism is readily correctable with increased thyroid medication.
