My left leg swells so much and causes great pain. I am wondering if I might have lymphdema tarda. What kind of doctor should I visit to discuss my concerns? My PCP has done so many tests and yet has not been able to help me. (I just found out about lymphdedema tarda today)

You will get help from general surgeon. Lymphodema tarda can be confirmed by Biopsy. Treatment options are very limited. Either you have to excised that part, or try to direct lymph flow to other site.
