Hematologist: Your sister should be referred to a hematologist, oncologist, or hematologist/oncologist. Presumably bone marrow edema was seen on an MRI? Bone marrow edema can in fact be an orthopedic problem, but you asked about lymph nodes, so I would suggest going to a hematologist/oncologist to work up the lymph nodes (in combination with BM edema) ASAP. Kind regards.

Need correct terms: Your terms used are not correct or edema or the use of orthopedic doc are not making sense. Need verifications of actual written diagnosis for us to help you in the best. Take care.
