Or sometimes it looks like a very large blotchy red rash that runs up the inside of my legs up to my groin.. My dr did a eche which was neg. and she prescribed me Lasix 10 mg qd. Is there anything else I can do or mabey which specialist should I have her consult me with.

Hi
I just read this, and it seems as per your statement there is no NHL activity currently and i hope the relevant imaging has been done
As regards to leg edema check your albumin levels, urine protein , and Kidney function tests and I think your doppler is negative
Now if this edema is being controlled by Lasix you can take same but you should keep yourself well hydrated and take thios for a short period for eg 5 days
you can also try some simple techniques as leg elevation , stockings
if the imaging for lymphoma has not been done for abdominal nodes please get the same done
