    I would expect you’d need to speak to a specialist and work alongside a physiotherapist. It’s not something I can advise on.

    I’m already waiting for reumatologist appointment, read that quality curcumin might help as well as anti inflammatory diet helps so I’ll give the curecoming go

    I agree with nath here also to add what is the rest of your bloods looking like? Did you check thyroid antibodies with your blood test?

    CBC, lipids, liver enzymes as well as kidneys all clear no elevations, doctor tested me for autoimmune thyroid disease and that came back negative

    Whats your current diet set up? Whats your current body composition and do you have your bloodwork?

    Are you currently in a diet phase?

    Have you ruled out other potential causes? stress (cortisol) low iron or ferritin? Any gut issues?

    Do you utilise high days and refeeds during a diet phase?

    I wouldnt rule out T4 & T3 at replacement dose but Probably need some more info before just saying yes crack on

    I’m at maintenance level right now, around 18ish% bodyfat looking to go into diet when I resolve thyroid, yes I have blood work fT4 10.3- ref range 10.4-19 a fT3 2.5 – ref range 2.42-6 TSH 3.14 ref range 0.35-4.8, currently no stress whatsoever no gut issues I eliminate everything that I can’t digest as efficiency as possible, in diet I implement refeeds when performance dips or bodyweight stalls

    Hi Alexander. What injury have you got? Can you not train anything upper body at all or at least get some form of movement in?

    Torn nerve on right shoulder, can train left side
