Osteoporosis without fractures has no symptoms. Controlled and treated hypothyroidism should similarly have no symptoms. With your complaints, a visit to a rheumatologist and/or orthopedist would be in order to get to the root of the problem which is the first step to getting you better.

Hope this helps.
