Does anyone else have lymphedema? I have it in my right leg. I noticed it happened after my first surgery when my appendix was removed. Thanks.

Hi! I realise this is a really old thread but it looks so lonely with no replies.
My Mum also had Endo at around 33, and just 2 years ago (ish) was diagnosed with Lipodema (really similar disease) of one leg and Lymphedema of the other. I think. I'm not certain on the details but this is roughly it. The two might not be related but I know that it often comes up after surgery, something to do with lymph node blockage.
I hope you're not suffering too much with it, I know how debillitating it can be. Watching my Mum suffer with it is painful enough without even having it myself!

I always enjoy reading older threads. It is lonely! I'm glad you revived it. This thread was started before I was ever a member. lol
I wonder if endo getting into the lymphatic system has anything to do with this. I know it can get into your lympatic system and spread to other organs but I'm not sure if it causes lymphedema or lipodema. It'd be interesting to do more research on.
