Anyone with lymphedema have a knee replacement?

Hello John,
Thank you for sharing how you have dealt with surgery and Lymphedema. Really appreciate this. Currently I wear compression stockings, which really help.
I haven't really relayed my fear to my surgeon yet. There is a pre-op set for next week, and I am planning on trying to let them know about this. Nervous about letting them know also. They have said I will be most likely flat on my back for a couple of weeks, other than for the exercises, meal time, and restroom. Sounds like I will have an ice machine.
I've just been doing lots of praying.

@dclevenger1959 You might find it helpful to make a list of all the questions you have and take them with you to your pre-op next week so you can discuss them with your surgeon. It helped me to address some of my concerns prior to the surgery.
