Advise venous Doppler.

Lymphedema is benign, doesn't need urgent attention. But swelling with redness could mean cellulitis....means infection......needs urgent attention. So best thing would be to see your doctor again and follow the advice. For lymphedema there are some massage therapies & techniques which can help reduce the swelling, your doctor should be able to guide you in the right direction.
