Briefly - but depending on the cause of your condition - YES!!. Allow me to explain!. Lymphedema occurs when your lymph vessels are unable to adequately drain lymph fluid from your arm or leg!. Lymphedema can be either primary or secondary!. This means it can occur on its own (primary lymphedema) or it can be caused by another disease or condition (secondary lymphedema)!. Primary lymphedema is a rare, inherited condition caused by problems with the development of lymph vessels in your body!. Primary lymphedema occurs most frequently in women and usually affects the legs, rather than the arms!. Specific causes of primary lymphedema include - Milroy disease (congenital lymphedema)!. This is an inherited disorder that begins in infancy and causes a malformation of your lymph nodes, leading to lymphedema!. Meige disease (lymphedema praecox)!. This hereditary disorder causes lymphedema in childhood or around puberty!. It causes your lymph vessels to form without the valves that keep lymph fluid from flowing backwards, making it difficult for your body to properly drain the lymph fluid from your limbs!. Late-onset lymphedema (lymphedema tarda)!. This occurs rarely and usually begins after age 35!. secondary lymphedema is caused by any condition or procedure that damages your lymph nodes or lymph vessels Causes may include
