I had a problem with lymph edema in the past. my edema tech told me i shouldd have an ultrasound on my legs to check my blood flow but my primary never ordered it. Is that something I need to request ?

@danpinc2022, I have lymphedema and have to wear compression socks to keep the swelling in the legs down. My cardiologist ordered the lymphoscintigram test as part of the diagnosis. If you are still having swelling in your legs it might be a good idea to have a discussion with your doctor or get a referral to a cardiologist for testing.

Mayo Clinic has some information on the diagnosis & treatment here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lymphedema/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20374687
