How can I tell if I have lymphedema or venous reflux disease?
Symptoms are usually lacking in patients with lymphedema. Patients with venous reflux disease typically have aching, pain, heaviness, tiredness, fatigue, cramping, throbbing and swelling in the legs. The foot and toes in lymphedema are described as “pillow feet and sausage toes” and the swelling is usually NOT relieved with overnight leg elevation.
