Thank you so much for posting about this. i wish there was one in my area.

I was diagnosed with lymphedema after my medial thigh lift on Dec. 7th.  Like yours, one of my calves swells to 2" larger than the other.  Also, my PS actually told me that lymphedema wasn't a risk factor for me when I asked about it pre-op.  I was diagnosed by a second PS that took over my follow-up care after I developed an infection in a seroma in my "big leg."  Last week I started intensive treatments at a lymphedema clinic for 2 hours per day for 2 weeks.  My husband has learned how to bandage my leg at night, I'm getting scar treatments, lymph drainage, I'll be learning exercises and how to do my own drainage, and I'll be fitted for compression stockings to wear during the day when I'm done with treatment.  It sounds like you need the same kind of treatment I'm going through.  My therapist is highly trained (LANA) and experienced (8 years) and very good with scar work.  Maybe you could contact the Lymphology Association of North America and see if you have any qualified therapists near you.  This condition is so hard to deal with but it will just get worse if you don't have the right kind of treatment.

I do hope you did seek medical care. It is a good idea to seek help when issues like this occurs.I hate doctors as much as the next person but they are needed to stay healthy. Better to get things under control sooner than later. If you wait to long things could go from bad to worse.... It would be wise to see a health care provider on a norm if you have a condition like Lymphedema. Robert

Call ambulance, go to hospital.
