Has anyone with primary lymphodaema had orthopaedic surgery, specifically foot or ankle surgery? If so, what pre surgery precautions or treatment did you take and how was the post op management of your lymphodaema?

I had surgery for an ingrowing toenail on my lymphedemous leg. I've no advice except the obvious, which is to draw the medical staff's attention to your condition. They will be extra cautious about the risks of infection etc.
