I developed lymphedema in my lower left leg as a result of a quite aggressive bout of cellulitis. Consultant thinks it may have been brought on by a bite while at a Wedding in Cyprus. Anyway, I have a very grossly affected lower leg. Two years later my friend cellulitis paid a visit to my right leg, but as I recognized the symptoms, I sought medical attention much quicker and my right leg is nowhere near as badly affected. I struggle to find shoes, but I get up every day and go to work even when I feel defeated because that's what we do!!!
