A member asked:

Does lymph fluid get clogged or move more slowly than normal?.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can: But this usually only happens if there is damage to the lymph system somehow. This can happen from trauma, surgery, or even cancer. If it is a new issue, you should definitely get checked out.
