Was the blockage test your husband had a lymphoscintigram? Basically they injected a special dye into the feet between the toes and then did several imagining tests at different time intervals on one day. I think I had imaging done and then I had to walk around the hospital for a period of time then they did the imaging again to see how far the dye had traveled in the legs. That's how my lymphedema of the legs was diagnosed at Mayo Clinic Rochester - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lymphedema/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20374687.
I wonder if elevating the legs off and on during the daytime and then elevating them at night might help. Even though I wear compression socks, I still have some minor swelling in my right leg so I elevate my legs at night when sleeping. The easiest way is just to put a thick folded blanket under the mattress at the bottom of the bed to raise it.
