I have just watched your recent video regarding pain with lymphoedema. I have bilateral lower limb primary lymphoedema which is now also affecting my feet, toes and ankles. I wear prescription hosiery every day, but I am in no doubt that the pain I experience on a daily basis is caused by the primary lymphoedema. Dragging around what are effectively 2 tree trunks all day every day, causes pain in my feet and ankles. Only someone who has done this for most of their 80+ years can really understand this.
