Helo @marn09, Welcome to Connect. Waiting for answers after having multiple tests can be disconcerting to say the least. You definitely deserve to know what the doctors think the problem is along with possible or suggested treatments. You might want to write down a list of questions to be prepared when you meet with the doctors to go over the test results and what they mean. Here's a site with some tips if you need some help planning your conversation - https://patientrevolution.org/visit-tools.

Are you able to share a little more about your symptoms and what you are being tested for? When is your last test?

Hopefully they find some answers for you. I wear compression socks for lymphedema in my legs to control the swelling.
