Hello and welcome to HCM,
Thyroid disorders usually swing between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
When there is hypothyroidism, weight gain can occur, thus, I suggest you to get the latest thyroid function tests (TFTs) and consult your treating doctor for review of dose of thyroxine.
Bloating and upset stomach are suggestive of gastritis or gastrointestinal infection.
Soreness of feet and ankle region can be due to trauma, infection or inflammation.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment, for diagnosis and thus management.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Wahal
