I sure will I should have the results next week. Did they ever find a reason for your lymphedema diagnosis?

@summertime4 -- looking back on my medical notes from the doctor, my diagnosis is mild bilateral venous insufficiency with my right leg worse than the left. The Lymphoscintigraphy was negative for lymphedema so I have been mistaken about having lymphedema. The doctors report says bilateral lower extremity edema, worse on the right compared to the left. Not sure why I had it in my head that I have lymphedema. The doctor said -- "There is no notable pathology to explain his edema. When comparing the right to the left ventricular size, there does appear to be some enlargement of the right ventricle". So I guess in addition to idiopathic small fiber PN I also have idiopathic edema ☺
