Brief Answer:
Need to get investigated any Renal pathology

Detailed Answer:
hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted sudden increase in weight along with swelling of the ankle and legs with flank pain of left side and h previous history of kidney stone point towards suspicion of kidney disease rather than Thyroid problem .

I would suggest to consult qualified Urologist or Nephrologist for clinical assessment and get following basic tests
1) Urine Routine and Urine culture
2) Ultrasound Scan of abdomen and pelvis
3)Renal function tests

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
