Symptom #3: Swelling of the Fingers and Toes
In many cases, people are able to identify the swelling as related to lymphedema before it spreads anywhere else in the body. However, if people do not recognize the condition in its early stages—that is, when it’s affecting the arms and legs—it can spread to affect the fingers and the toes.
If you’re experiencing swelling in the fingers and toes as well as in the arms and legs, it’s a good idea to seek medical help so you can find ways to manage the problem. Just like the swelling of the arms and legs can vary a lot, so can the swelling of the fingers and toes.
