Co-morbidity issues
I have been diagnosed with idiopathic lymphoedema of the right leg-2016 and I have also been diagnosed (December 2022)with moderate osteoarthritis of lower spine and both hips-and chronic cardiac condition (two heart attacks 2002 and 2011). Are these capable f being linked?I find it difficult to get satisfactory advice from NHS professionals who are only concerned with single issues. Holistic understanding?

Hi @hugh
Many of our members do have comorbidities that is definite.
This is not something we as moderators would be able to answer having no medical training. However I wondered whether you have read any posts by @Jewels1973 who also has lymphoedema as well as arthritis.
Also the very last post by @jamieA in this thread might also strike a chord with you:
Best wishes
Ellen.
