@mclny. Welcome to Mayo Connect. It was a good thing to get your leg checked after finding the small lumps and increasing swelling. Always have to be on the lookout of potential issues like blood clots or lymph nodes. I’ve had experiences with similar and if the swelling is due to blockage, often this can be relieved with a visit to a licensed massage therapist. Preferably one who has special certification in lymphatic drainage. But only after your sonogram and checking with your doctor.

While waiting for others with MCL to answer your question regarding their experiences, I thought I’d give you a link to a current discussion in the group to get you introduced.

When is your sonogram appointment?
