Posted By: Meli Lymphedema on right leg - 04-09-2021 08:57 PM
I have had swelling in my right leg, same side as cancer and neck dissection, for several years. Have had blood tests and X-rays and ultrasounds and physiotherapist check it all out with nothing showing up as a problem and so they suspect it’s Lymphedema. I’m going to see a specialist nurse massage therapist in a few weeks to get it assessed.

Has anyone had Lymphedema so far removed from their head and neck?

It causes swelling pain and discomfort in my foot, ankle and lower leg but has started causing pain in my knee and hip also.

Thanks Mel
