Default Side Effects of Synthroid

My mother was diagnosed with hypothyroidism recently - her TSH is 9.88.

She just started synthroid - Dr. said to increase dosage gradually. So she took 25mg for 2 weeks and now she started with 75mg which she will take for 4 weeks and then blood test and Dr. visit to determine the dosage for her.

My mom has been feeling lot of pain in her legs (below the knees and upto her ankle). Is this side effect normal?

Can someone please share their experience on this medication?

I really appreciate it - thank you so much.

Her Dr. is out on vacation until Monday so I need some answers from you all. Thanks.
