Thyroid Disorders :: TSH Low, Free T3 And T4 Normal Range
I am 37 years old and about 16 weeks pregnant. When I had my first set of prenatal labs, my TSH came back as low at 0.0643. They called me back in to do a thyroid panel, and I just got my results back which were TSH 0.092, free T3 3.6, and free T4 0.95. The nurse made note that T3 and T4 were in normal range, but TSH is "very low" and they referred me to maternal fetal medicine. The doctor's note says "may need small dose of Synthroid."
I am very confused now. Doesn't a low TSH mean HYPERthyroidism? And wouldn't Synthroid be for HYPOthyroidism? I am finding so much conflicting information online, and I have to wait until my appointment on the 21st to get an answer on all this. Of course, it's all making me very nervous. Can someone help explain or shed some light on my lab results as far as what they could mean? I was seeing that a lower-ish T4 and low TSH can actually indicate hypo, so I'm really confused now.

View 1 RepliesMRI - Slightly Prominent (upper Range Of Normal) Pituitary Gland
My MRI report had two findings. I am worried about the second one more than the first, and I'll explain why.
"Slightly prominent (upper range of normal) pituitary gland" is the first and impression was the radiologist recommended a second detailed 3D scan.
Secondly, there was a non-specific finding of an "8mm nodule medial to the internal carotid just outside the skull base, mildly hyperintense" - impression was it was not fully imaged and more detailed scan needed.
That second one worries me.
Could this be cancer? Tumor?
For the first, my family doctor ordered a blood test and my hormone levels were normal so she said its probably just a slightly oversized pituitary.
(Age 25-34) Pregnancy :: Weight Loss Is Normal?
I am 9 weeks 3 days pregnant with my 3rd. Before I got pregnant I weighed 133 lbs (I am 5 ft 1 in). At 6 weeks I weighed 129 lbs and now I am at 130 lbs. Should I be worried? I never lost this much with my other 2. I do have pretty bad morning sickness and I take reglan for it. I go to my midwife at the end of the month. Should I mention this to her?

View 4 RepliesLimited Range Of Motion After Ankle Microfracture Surgery
Four weeks ago I had ankle surgery where the doctor removed loose cartilage between my tibia and talus and performed microfracture surgery on the talus to generate "newer" cartilage since I had an empty crater of about 1cm.
Two weeks after the surgery when the doctor removed the stitches I tried to move my foot up and down rotating at my ankle. I was completely unable to move my ankle upwards.
Currently (4 weeks since the operation) from a starting position of a 90 degree angle from leg to foot, i can move my foot down and up back to the 90 degree position without any discomfort. I can't contract my foot upwards past the 90 degree position. With an exercise band I can pull my toes upwards rotating my foot by my ankle without discomfort but if i try to hold that position with my tendons/muscle I feel severe pain and can't hold it.
Did anyone else experience this lack of range in their ankle. Did it eventually get better?
