Suggest Treatment For Swelling On Legs When Suffering From High Cholesterol

Hello. I have high blood and high cholesterol. I am being treated for it and it seems to be under control. The problem is my legs, feet and ankles. They swell up and they hurt and I have pain in my feet. I told my doctor and he instructed me to wear support hose. Well I do and I continu to have the same problems. I am thinking of changing doctors.
