Anyone else feeling that their endocrinologist is just a numbers guy?

So I've had issues past year with knee and since November my arm muscle, research is telling me with my history is thyroid cancer and being on thyroid suppression therapy that it could be caused by my TSH. So it says I should speak with endocrinologist as could be muscle wastage/atrophy, I rang my CNS who said to ring and bring appointment forward which I did and saw him today, seems he just cares that my TSH is ok right now even though when these issues started it wasn't! Anyways I debated my way into getting him to order an creatine kinase blood test to make sure which he did but he saying it's probably frozen shoulder. 

I also have been having a sore throat but not in my throat as it doesn't hurt to eat etc and my voice has been going weak after using it at work the next day I've got what sounds like a sore throat without it, sounds weird I know, anyways he asked when I last had an US which I haven't had one with him. So he ordered one to check but surely he should checked my Thyroid antibodies etc? Grrr
