So I have recently had DVT in my leg, but I also have Lymphodoema and I also have cancer in my lymph node which is causing nerve pain.
I currently have a constant ache in my leg, but I would describe like a feeling of my leg being under extreme pressure! An intense aching pressure.
nerve pain is described as a dull ache, Lymphodoema is meant to just be a heavy feeling.
I am on every painkillers going already and nothing helps.
Can anyone please describe their Lymphodoema pain to me as I feel it might be from the swelling but I don’t know. Or if could someone describe nerve pain?
