My father has gone cancer surgery of lymph nodes on both right and left side. After completion of chemotherpy cycles, it is observed that the right leg is swollen, symptoms are like lymphoedema. Legs are paining and also due to swollen legs cannot walk or sit. Please suggest what should be done and which specialist doctor to be consulted for lymphoedema.

If patient has underwent lymph node surgery then lymphedema is common. I suppose you must consult the primary surgeon for this problem, he will suggest you compressed stocking.
