Suggest Treatment For Lipedema Causing Swelling In Legs,hips And Ankles

Hello, I had a chest x ray last week, we were on va until yesterday. Answering machine says your x ray showed Vascular Congestion, you will need echocardiogram and stress test. I have been short of breath, for yr or so. I had ovarian ca 2004, broke my leg within 4 months, staples from my surgery came popped off during office check up, had to be packed about 3 months. I gained 100 lbs now 340 I use cpap I have lipedema, legs are swollen from ankles to hips. physical therapist said she could not help me as far as exercise. She says I have Lipedema not Lymphadema. Most of my Doctors don t know lipedema. I am thinking, maybe vascular in my legs also. No one has asked me about my legs, they hurt, and I can t walk far without thinking I am going to faint. Sorry for the extra drama. It s been a week no appointment. Can you please talk to me.
