Hello @musicman, Welcome to Connect. I know it has to be difficult for you watching your husband in pain and not being able to help lessen his pain. I have lymphedema and have to wear knee high compression socks but I don't have any open wounds or pain with my legs. Since you mentioned wounds and leaking fluid I thought this reference may offer some suggestions:
--- What are the treatment options for chronic wounds?: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK326436/
Are there open wounds on your husbands feet or legs that are leaking lymphatic fluid? Are you able to seek help or a second opinion at a teaching hospital or major health facility like Mayo Clinic?

Thank you! We need to get to a second opinion. We live in a rural area of Ohio with not many options for thus kind of care. The wound clinic in Fort Wayne wouldn't even see him. Yes there are many open wounds on both legs.
