Stasis Dermatitis, No Energy, Tired Feeling, Over Weight

I have stasis dermitis and am wearing support hose and elevating my legs. I have been off of my feet off and on for about three days now and the swelling has really gone down. However, I have no energy and feel tired. Is this a side effect of stasis dermitis? I had a knee scope on the leg that swells the most and I am over weight too. Also my daughter would like me to have an ultra sound to see if the circulation is adequate in my legs. Any opinions. Thanks you. AAAAAAA Fetter
