What type tests have the doctors run?  Ultra sound? MRI? The fact that you are experiencing pain is far different from my weight gain or that of others I have read.  If they haven't run the entire gambit of tests...I would push it.  So many of us women have sudden weight gain ( I am 5'3 and gained 30 lbs in 4 months and no one knows why...but I have no pain).  Good luck.

Judging by your age you may have just passed through menopause. When I did I gained 20 pounds. Eventually I lost 15 of them without even trying. It might just be that kind of hormonal screwup. However I did not have any pain, although carrying the extra weight in clothes too tight for me was uncomfortable.
