Hi!
My neurologist though I had peripheral neuropathy, but after all the testing he think it may be lymphedema. It appears. He feels I should see a specialist, but can find one in Vero Beach, FL. I also had a bad case of Covid prior to getting lymphedema, if that’s what it is. My primary care doesn’t have a clue. It gets worse a night for some reason and when I press on my foot it doesn’t leave an indention.
Anyone on this site know a specialist in Vero Beach, FL that can treat this?

Welcome @lymphedema654, I have lymphedema in my legs and was diagnosed at Rochester Mayo Clinic. I wear knee high compression socks during the day and also elevate my legs at night to help keep the swelling down. Mayo Clinic has some information on diagnosis and treatment here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lymphedema/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20374687.

Here's a list of doctors in your area - https://health.usnews.com/doctors/lymphedema/florida/vero-beach
