What are the symptoms of lymphedema?

Swelling: Most often affects arm or leg after lymph node surgery or lymphatic damage. Skin and tissues become thickened and swollen chronically. Color of skin can darken slightly.

Swelling: If you have lymphedema, you may not develop symptoms immediately. Sometimes symptoms occur 15 or more years following an injury to your lymphatic system. When symptoms eventually occur, they can include: aching, weakness, redness, heaviness, or tightness in one of your limbs. Also less flexibility in your wrist or ankle, tight-fitting rings or shoes. Swelling on the top of the foot is classic one.

Hello. Swollen fat deposits, creased skin, and warty overgrowths can occur during a severe stage of lymphedema. Lymphedema can be asymptomatic during its latency stage, which can take years before physical changes manifest. I would advise you to go see a doctor should you experience swelling and pain while moving your limbs.
