Rheumatologist,  's  Response
Trauma to lymph nodes can disrupt their operation causing lymphedema (with or without bruising to the organs). It is difficult to tell the difference between normal edema and lymphedema, but both are a natural result of a body trauma that "shocks" the body, including neurotransmitters (you could be starting hormone deficiencies, regardless of gender) and the circulatory system. Lymphatic system works very closely with circulatory system. I would change doctors and go to someone who specializes with lymphedema. You don't have to have fever or red on your legs to have lymphedema. Whether you have edema or lymphedema, there is specialized physical therapy to help reduce this. There are compression wraps and leg braces (attached with velcro) which can help you.
