Greetings, sorry about the issues. speaking about lymph edema is a strong word, you do not have to think that far.
Next Steps
get physio as your personal trainer and keep working on it for at least 6-8 months to see some changes. aim to make her fit rather than concentrate on size, else depression comes and spoils the whole story. size of thighs and lower limb to reduce takes lot of effort and time plus a well planned diet. get a massage if possible once in 2 months and pain will subside.
Health Tips
exercise is a long term commitment, so keep working on it. if any questions get back to me. best wishes
