Lymphedema

[Raymundo]

Lymph nodes all removed in left groin. Now have swollen left leg.

Hello, can you give us a bit more detail? For example, why did you have them removed? How long ago? Swelling below where lymph nodes have come from can happen but it’s difficult to say without more information. Have you been referred to a lymphoedema nurse/doctor or seen anyone about it?

Are you still on Pred for GCA?

Thank you SnazzyD - I realise my post should not be here- this is a seperate illness. Penile Cancer. Sorry if I've wasted your time. Still on 6mgs of Pred.

Sorry, you’ve got another heavy diagnosis. Now you’re here, how are you doing on 6mg?

Regards your swollen leg though, you need to be seen about it if you haven’t already done so. You may need specialist hosiery which needs an assessment first to rule out other causes.

Doing ok on 6mg. New diagnosis now has centre stage!!

[SnazzyD in reply to Raymundo]

yes, I bet. Well, we’re here even if this diagnosis has put your other one out of the limelight.

I hope you don’t mind me sending you good wishes for better days.

Hi Raymundo, sorry to hear of your present problems, maybe the wrong forum for that problem, but you are on Pred and there is nearly always someone here to listen and reply. It's never a waste of time. Take care and hope all goes well.
