I got shot in 1992 I was 21 years old, that left me in a wheelchair. I deal with a lot of pain in my knees I can't describe the pain it just hurts so bad, after I got out of the hospital months later I loss so much weight fast the drs said I was going thru a depression I got admitted again until I gained a few lbs.
I got pregnant in 95 and gained weight I stayed healthy, then in 2002 I started having blood clots in my legs & then I had some fluid removed from my spine & that started me being on all this different medicine to try to find a way to stop the pain in my legs. Nothing has worked. I think I just loss my appetite, I eat i just don't eat a lot I could eat 1 x a day sometimes. I just need to gain a little weight because I am starting to feel so insecure about myself I have a husband he says just eat its not that easy when you are in pain all day everyday my butt is gone my legs are too skinny I am getting older now I'm starting to worry about my health a lot.

I lose weight extremely fast if I'm depressed or stressed. Perhaps this is simply the prediciment you are permanently in? Try the above recommended muscle milk, & do go to the gym...it's great for the body & mind. You'll look & feel like a new person! Great for your blood circulation too.

Some of us have too much of both. But then, gaining weight has been all too easy for me over the last 25 or so years. I've only been in a chair three of those. Much harder to lose now.
The exercise , suggested above, could be the key to both. It helps me with my pain, and at least burns a few calories. You may find that the endorphines released while doing even light weight training will alleviate a portion of your pain ( as they seem to do mine) . Do it before lunch and it may increase the chance of your wanting a shake with your veggieburger.
If all else fails, The McDonald's Diet seems to add weight to most who use it.

I think what you're looking for is muscle gain. Make sure you don't gain a lot of fat by consuming a lot of 'empty' calories like junk food, alcohol, fatty fried foods etc. You should also couple your revised eating plan with sufficient muscle exercise.
