Hello welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding your experience of little knots from your thigh down to your knee with a history of lymphedema I believe strongly that these are conspicuous lymph node due to obstruction of the lymphatic vessels within your thigh region
Please do a scan of the thigh to locate the point of obstruction
Following your Lipoma episode I am suggesting you see a General surgeon for a liposuction procedure
I hope this helps
