Suggest Treatment For Lymphedema And Cellulitis Of Foot

Hi ! I am a 40 year old lady with a history of lymphedemea {sp?) and cellulitis in my feet and legs, I have rexcntly been treated at a local vein and vascular clinic. They have been wrapping my legs in compressions until I can get compression stockings, On my right leg I am having pain with burning and stinging sensations. The area this is occurring in has been red and dark colored for sometime, I was wondering what is causing the pain and burning sensations
