Frustrated with my condition...

Hi I was diagnosed with primary about two years ago, after going to the hospitol for a staph infection. My doctor thought that I had edema so they had me on a water pill. I have very large legs and have been wrapping just to keep them from getting worse it seems. I have seen a little progress. I have seen a person in the local physical therapy group in our local hospitol, learned how to wrap and massage but now i just feel like Im on my own... I would love to get some help and advice and was wondering if anyone knew any good therapists in the Rochester NY area where I live that may have better training. I feel like there is no one that has alot of knowledge near me and I am so frustrated right now. I am a very heavy girl, and really always have been, but the additional weight of these legs is taking its toll. I now have sleep apnea, and my heart was out of rhythm for which I have to take medicine now. I used to be a person who played sports, and never went to the doctor, and was very active and this takes a big emotional toll on me. I would love to lose weight, but by the time I work(overnights) and clean my house I have no energy for exercise. I want to thank you for listening... Its hard for me to talk about because I am not a complainer usually, and normally otimistic. I also saw on someones post that there is a good clinic in Duluth Georgia, and strange but my brother just moved there two weeks ago. Hope you all have a Good Day!
