I have extremely poor circulation

My mother has always had extremely poor circulation and I didn't take it seriously growing up, she cannot eat a piece of bacon she will swell up like a balloon.
Now I am experiencing all the same stuff and it's really more than annoying. It feels almost debilitating like if I drive more than 4 hours my leg balloons really huge.
It can take 3 days to go back to normal.
People look at me like I'm so healthy cause I basically look healthy but this whole swelling and retaining water its so bad some days my legs hurt and feel heavy.
I tried to wear special sports compression tights and they gave me like permanent bruise marks all over my leg is so crazy.
So Im working on a plan to avoid carbs, drink water, eat mostly fruit and veg.
Any other tips. Its scary.

eat things with cinnamon in it, it's one of the best things you can eat for circulation...
