Lymphedema: It generally refers to swelling in the legs and arms (sometimes one and sometimes both). It occurs when the lymph nodes are damaged or removed as a part of cancer treatment. As a result, the lymphatic system is blocked, which prevents fluid in the lymph from draining out. Hence, the legs and arms swell up.

It can be treated sometimes by simple lifestyle changes and home treatments. The exact cause for it is not known.
