AB  - Lymphedema  occurs  from  obstruction  of  lymphatic  channels  and  is  associated  with  malignancy,  radiation,  trauma,  surgery,  inflammation,  infection,  parasitic  invasion,  DVT,  paralysis,  renal  insufficiency,  heart  failure,  cirrhosis,  and  malnutrition.  Lymphedema  is  characterized  by  painless  pitting  edema,  fatigue,  increase  in  limb  size  (particularly  during  the  day  while  upright),  and  presence  of  lymph  vesicles.  The  skin  becomes  thickened  and  brown  in  the  late  stages.
