Hi @summertime4, I'm not sure any of us members are able to tell you what to expect - most of us not having medical backgrounds or training. It does sound like you are battling multiple issues. I also have lymphedema and swelling - mostly in my right leg and ankle for which I wear compression socks. Hopefully your next visit to a rheumatologist will provide a diagnosis and treatment to help the pain and aches. I have polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) which is currently in remission but when it's active it plain hurts all over and is very difficult to walk or do any kind of activities. The good news is there are some treatments that will provide relief if that's what is diagnosed on your next visit.

Here are some balance exercises on the Mayo Clinic website that may help you.

Thank you for sharing your experience here. Can you give us an update after your visit to the rheumatologist?

I sure will. I don't see the rheumatologist until Aug.6. I think you also asked me to update you on the results of the CAT scan I had done to check my lymph nodes as I was told I had lymphedema but had not had cancer. Well the CAT scan did not show involvement of the lymph nodes so it is edema, but lymph nodes are no blocking the fluid. Now to find out what is. They are now considering a nerve in the spine. Lots of osteoarthritis there.
