I have lymphedema. i am unable to stand for a long period of time or my knees, will form a dent within the knee area. is this a permanent part of lymphedema? i also developed difficulty climbing. what does this mean?

Lymphedema alone should not impair your knee joint's function. You may need to see an orthopedist for those symptoms. Good luck.

Lymphedema can be alleviated by elevating the limb, wearing elastic stockings and certain local treatments. Pl see your doc or one specializing in its treatment
