Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood your query and concerns. It says you had cellulitis means infection/inflammation of the legs. The resultant infection must have caused the lumps to appear and stay as there might not have has any proper treatment. It is good that the edema of the legs is going down on elevation of the legs in the lying down position. I would advise in such a situation the following:- Get clinical evaluation and examination done to know the cause of all such problems like varicose veins or so. - Color Doppler examination of the lower limbs - Routine tests of blood including that for sugar, kidney function. - Ultrasonography of the lower abdomen to find out any possible obstruction agent to the lymphatics or venous return. - Get started on proper treatment with appropriate medicines as per the findings of clinical evaluation and investigations.
