Lymphedema of feet, ankles, & legs after bilateral TKR

Posted , 3 users are following.

I'm 2 yrs post-op after bilateral TKR. About 6 months ago the feet, ankle & legs started swelling with burning & tingling of the feet & the pain. Have been diagnosed with lymphedema. The doctor says it is quite common after knee replacement. It is news to me. Anyone else having this trouble and what do you do about it?
