I had a thyroidectomy on 1/27/17 for PTC. My TSH levels have been fluctuating: 0.82 on 1/27, 14.33 on 3/9, 11.230 on 8/1, and 15.71 on 8/26. My T3 Uptake is 35%, T4 Total is 6.9 mcg/dL, and Free T4 index is 2.4. I started with LEVO 125 to 137 to 150 and was changed to 175 on 8/31. Is this considered hypothyroidism?

I was an unrestrained driver in a head-on car accident on September 1st. X-rays of my right arm, wrist, and shoulder showed no breaks or fractures, but my pain has continuously worsened in my right shoulder with burning sensations radiating down my arm and intermittent numbness. I have no range of motion without exacerbating these symptoms. I'm concerned about potential internal damage to tissues or my rotator cuff due to the increasing severity of pain and burning. What could be causing this and what should I do?
