Hello,

What I see with the history you mentioned is you have chronic lymphedema. As your other lab reports are turned to be normal, along with No High BP or Diabetic than you should check for any signs of varicose veins.

You can get a Doppler done for checking out if there is any kind of obstruction in the lower limb lymph nodes.

Also, using stocking should be of great help and doing some exercises to improve venous return would be helpful.

As you are 54 and 130/KGS you need to shed down weight and do regular exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
