Over 20 yrs. ago, I had breast implants removed and the lymph nodes under my left arm were also removed. There was no cancer.

When the swelling first started in my left leg & foot (about 10 yrs. ago), the doctors thought I had May Thurner Syndrone, but I did not. That is where the doctors left it. They've never tested me for anything else.

@myhealthnow, thank goodness there was no cancer. I'm tagging a few members like @emine @johnbishop @cindylb @rosy33 @mariwy59 and @amkaloha who have dealt with lymphedema or swollen limbs.

What do you do to manage the swelling? Is it painful?
