Do you ever become 'worn out' from all the questions we bombard you with?!

I don't know WHY i didn't see and latch on to the fact that HypoT was your initial culprit with PN....but i was up late last nite looking thru older threads and this subject was broached and one of the posts jumped right out at me.
I will try to cut/copy......

"the old TSH range was around .5 to 5.5, but the newer Academy of Endocrinology guidelines suggest .3 to 3.0 is a better range, given subclinical/borderline cases of hyporthyroidism. And, as Mrs. D has pointed out, hypothyroid conditions tend to result in fiborous tissue being deposited at the joint areas, often narrowing already narrow canals that nerves pass through, and thus causing nerve compression and neuropathy--and the knee joint, which the sciatic peroneal branch loops around very close to the hard tissues of the knee, certainly qualifies as such a place."

My MAIN issue is the piercing/burning pain at both KNEES that radiates outward to include both legs with the signature 'Burning' that PN is known for. Do you think PERHAPS this 'fiborous tissue' could be what is causing my problem? And if so, would it be wise to get an MRI WITH contrast (would the contrast catch this 'fiborous tissue'?) I did have MRI few years back but not with contrast.
The reason i sound so desperate is because in 2 wks i will be getting the SCS trial implant and once i get the permanent implant i won't be able to get MRI's. So if in fact there IS hope of getting relief from some other source than the invasive implant, NOW is the time for me to be enlightened.

Hypothyroid seems to be my main culprit and 125mcg Sinthroid is pretty high dose to be on and yet i seem to STILL have thyroid issues......

I have had some people confused about WHY i am getting the implant. I've gone thru all the preliminary workup and done MUCH study on them and am told that i am a perfect candidate, as the SCS (Not to be confused with a pain pump) will target the lower extremities causing my so-called Radiculopathy/Peripheral Neuropathy.

Since you've shared that your PN improved quite a bit when your thyroid issues were targeted, i'm just wondering if there's a chance i would be able to bypass this VERY expensive implant.....
What are your thoughts? No pressure intended
