I have this very strange symtom where one leg is considerable bigger than the other. IT isn't that its swelling or anything, but its been like that ever since i became really sick and lost alot of weight. 40 POUNDS IN THREE WEEKS, Now that i am gaining my weight back my one leg is not gainning shall i say. This kinda freaks me out because my smaller leg seems to be considerabley weaker. I thnk i am going to mention it to my doc next time i see him, just wondering if anyone else has had this.

It's possible that you might have atrophy (shrinking) of the muscles.
Use a tape measure to measure both legs. If the measurements vary from day to day, this might be excess fluid.
Physical therapy might help muscle atrophy. Rebounding or lymphatic massage might help edema.
It'll be interesting to see what your doctor says. Some just record the measurements at each visit, and don't do much about it.
