Hi
I was diagnosed with lower leg lymphodema 12 months ago. Before then I was so unhappy and frustrated with my swelling I was constantly told It was water retention and I was over weight, I constantly persisted that I gained weight cause of the swelling I felt like no doctor understood me.
Since being diagnosed and being treated I feel so happy I was told I would hate the stockings but I love them I have lost 4 stone in weight. I can fit my feet in normal shoes they have been such a benefit for me I wanted to share this.
Hi, mine is secondary and was diagnosed pretty quick but I just wanted to say how happy I am that you've finally been diagnosed and are being treated!
I've seen so many stories of lymphoedema getting to really advanced stages without a proper diagnosis, particularly in primary cases.
Good luck, I hope you continue to see more improvements.
