I have had swelling in my left leg for10 years and know it is getting worst with compression socks, what type of doctor should i see?

Lymphedema specialty: Someone who specializes in lymphedema is who you want to see. In Connecticut we have the Rifkin Center which is in Prospect. Not sure 'where' you live in the U.S. but that's what I would google-- or ask your doctor for a referral. It's very important to try and get the best management you can for a problem like this, in order to minimize suffering from it going forward. Hope you can get help.
