I had lymphodoema. The lymphodaema nurse and 2 physios (one an ex-lymphoedema nurse) all think the lymph fluid has dispersed and my ankles now just have fat in them. I’ve lost over 10st but my legs are stubborn areas.
I can’t get boots on, so riding again like I did when younger/slimmer (horse/motorbike) is going to be tricky. My ankles look awful, major overhang. Cosmetic maybe, but it’s extremely unsightly/upsetting and stops me doing what I love. Exercise won’t help. Losing more weight is ongoing.
The physio says I could ask my GP but doesn’t know if I would get a referral and I don’t want to be on a waiting list for years. I’m happy to pay. Has anyone had this done and are you happy with the results?
