Hi,
You are recommended to get some investigations like Doppler, CT, MRI, Imaging tests for the lymphatic system, CBC, Urinalysis is done to get evaluated & confirmed if you are suffering from lymphoedema.
Visit ER, get physically examined. Treatment will depend upon the severity of your illness. Exercises, Massage, Compression garments, CDT are effective.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
