Being tired could definitely be due to low TSH. Not sure about aches and pains.

Has your provider put you on Levothyroxine / Synthroid?

i have low TSH….its counterintuitive but low tsh represents hyperthyroidism and “anti thyroid drugs” are prescribed with the most popular one purportedly being methimazole (Tapazole brand name) per my endo’s. Synthyroid is for hypothyroid when TSH is too high. This has been explained to me at least 15–20 times by endo’s and its very confusing because it is counter-intuitive

I start taking Methimazole tomorrow. She said she needs to my TSH level before surgery. Maybe my terrible body aches aren't from my thyroid - maybe something else. I have also been taking eye drops due inflammation since March. My endocrinologist said I did not have TED. My body aches all started when I had lithium toxicity and covid st the same time. I didn't know I had covid until I went to the he hospital for toxicity. Thank You.
