✔✔A 46-year-old female was referred for home care for evaluation and treatment.
Assessment reveals bilateral lower-extremity edema. The left lower leg > right lower leg
and is mildly pitting. The thighs are symmetrical with soft tissue-texture. Both feet show
a mild degree of pitting edema. The patient is 5'4" with a BMI of 46. The patient states
that her legs have always been bigger since puberty but the left lower leg became even
larger over the last two years. A brownish discoloration is evident anteriorly on both
lower legs, left > right. The patient complains of heaviness and decreased mobility.

All women regardless of BMI
Young patients who are obese
Men - ✔✔Young patients who are thin
✔✔What is the purpose of the bicuspid valves in the lymphatic collectors?
