A normal TSH level indicates that the Synthroid therapy is
effectively managing the patient's thyroid hormone levels.
A normal TSH level suggests the need for increased Synthroid

Pain at the elbow that radiates into the forearm and pain and
weakness with gripping objects
Inability to supinate and pronate the arm
Inability to flex or extend the elbow against resistance
Ecchymosis, edema, and erythema over the lateral epicondyle
13. Why is it important to order a mammogram and ultrasound when assessing a
breast mass?
These tests help establish a diagnosis by providing imaging of the
breast tissue.
These tests are only necessary if the mass is painful.
These tests can replace the need for a physical examination.
These tests are used to treat the breast mass directly.
