Have Hyper Mobility Syndrome, Swollen Legs, Hands, Joint Pain, Worried About Lymphodema. Whom To Consult?
I am writting about my 37 yr old daughter. She was diagnosed with hyper mobility syndrom. She is very swollen in her hand legs and arms and has joint pain. i am worried about lymphodema. She is seeing a arthrutus doctor now, but I am wondering if she should be seeing another type doctor who works with the lymphatic system. She was tested for MS, Lymes and is currently taking tramadol, 50 mg and they just put her on cymbalta, now discussing fibermyalga. What type of doctor should be treating her?
Thanks!

hi,
she can see internal medicine specialist, or rheumatologist. it is unlikely to be lymphodema. those with connective tissue disorder are likely to have joint problem, sometimes bleeding tendencies also.
wishing her good health
