General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thyroid is a gland controlling the metabolism. Since you have thyroid problems, you basically suffer from energy dysequilibrium i.e. on one hand you suffer from energy depletion, on the other hand this energy remains unutilised and subsequently gets stored as fat. Hence you are fatigued but are gaining weight. Still, for weight gain to occur, the amount of energy taken in as food needs to be greater than the total amount of energy expenditure. So, it is needless to say that you need to cut down on your food intake on one hand, and increase the amount of workout. Other problems that you mention, are simply related. Electrical muscle stimulation therapy that is available at many slimming centres, might be able to give you some relief.
