Hi Kellie,
Sometimes believe it or not, there are no accurate diagnosis for a patient's symptoms. I assume you have had a battery of tests including blood work, have had your heart and kidneys examined and have also had a vascular exam to check the ability of your veins to return blood to the heart.
If everything checked out, why not speak to your doctor about treating the symptoms and just put you on a water pill in an effort to remove the excess fluid in your system. This probably is not a permanent solution, but if it makes you more comfortable and there are no underlying reasons why you cannot take a diuretic, then it just very well may be your best option.
