Living With Lymphedema: At-Home Treatment for Swollen Legs

Lymphedema is a condition that occurs when tissues swell caused by a buildup of protein-rich fluid that should usually be drained through the body’s lymphatic system. Lymphedema can occur in several places, including the chest, abdomen, genitals, and neck. However, the most common place men and women experience retaining fluid and swelling is in the legs and arms. When lymphedema is severe, the condition can affect your ability to move the affected limb, causing pain, discomfort, and an interruption to your daily activities. Keep reading to learn more about lymphedema, including the symptoms, causes, and how to best treat your specific pain.

Lymphedema Symptoms and Causes

What exactly causes lymphedema and swelling in the legs? The reasons for the condition can range from inherited conditions to surgery recovery issues. The most common causes of the condition are:

• Cancer. If cancer cells block lymph vessels, lymphedema may result. For instance, a tumor growing near a lymph node or lymph vessel could enlarge enough to block the flow of the lymph fluid.
• Radiation treatment for cancer. Radiation can cause scarring or inflamed lymph nodes or lymph vessels.
• Surgery. In cancer surgery, lymph nodes are often removed to see if the disease has spread. However, this doesn't always result in lymphedema.
• Parasites. In developing countries in the tropics, the most common cause of lymphedema is infection with threadlike worms that clog the lymph nodes.
• Risk factors. Those who are older, overweight or obese, or those with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis are more at risk of lymphedema.

Signs and symptoms of lymphedema can range from mild to severe depending on the level the condition has reached. However, the most common signs of lymphedema include:

• Swelling in part or all of the arm or leg (may also include fingers or toes)
• Tightness or heaviness in the affected area
• Restricted range of motion
• Fibrosis (hardening and thickening of the skin)

If you’re experiencing extreme pain or discomfort, make sure you see a doctor immediately to find the best form of relief for you.

How Do You Treat Lymphedema in Legs?

Although there is no known cure for lymphedema, there are treatment options to help prevent the pain and symptoms associated with the condition. The main symptom associated with lymphedema is the painful swelling and inflammation that occurs. Wrapping your leg with medical-grade compression can be a quick and easy way to relieve swelling and lymphedema pain in your legs. This wrap and compression stockings provide your lymphedema-affected leg with constant pressure and support to relieve pain, swelling, and other associated conditions.

Secondary vs. Primary Lymphedema: What’s the Difference?

Lymphedema causes unwanted swelling and other painful symptoms, but understanding what is causing the condition may be key to finding your perfect form of pain relief.

Primary Lymphedema

This form of lymphedema is rare, caused by gene mutation responsible for lymphatic system development. The mutated genes cause the lymphatic system to not drain fluid or work properly, resulting in lymphedema.

Secondary Lymphedema

Secondary lymphedema is caused by an accident, injury, or defect in the lymphatic system. Conditions that cause secondary lymphedema are most commonly obesity, infection, drug abuse, neoplasm, or trauma.

The Four Stages of Lymphedema

The severity of lymphedema is described in stages, which are often based on the timeline that the condition has been present, as well as what treatment methods are being carried out. Keep reading to learn more about each stage of lymphedema.

Stage 1:  Latency Stage

This state of lymphedema occurs when swelling and other common symptoms may not be evident, despite a damaged or impaired lymph transport. This is the result of an abnormal flow in the lymphatic system, without any apparent signs or symptoms.

Stage 2: Mild Lymphedema

The early stage of mild lymphedema is reached when fluid accumulates within the affected limb. This fluid build-up will begin to cause swelling that appears to go away with limb elevation.

Stage 3: Moderate Lymphedema

Within the second stage, the swelling in your limb will become permanent. Elevation alone will rarely reduce the swollen leg. During this stage, tissue fibrosis will begin to develop.

Stage 4: Lymphostatic Elephatiasis (Severe)

Severe swelling and thickened skin with wart-like overgrowths will begin to develop during this severe stage of lymphedema. This stage will make walking and regular daily movements difficult and painful.

Use this lymphedema leg wrap to help prevent and reduce swelling symptoms through stages 1-3 of the condition.
