I have LE Lymphedema and have swelling behind my knees that makes it difficult to wear pants without a huge bump sticking out. I've tried palazzo pants but its not the whole answer. Anyone have suggestions that aren't skirts? Thanks.

I have lymph in both legs from the knee down. I could never find pants wide enough in the clothing store. I was fortunate to find a seamstress that can make pants for me at a reasonable price. I had no other choice. Perhaps this could be an option for you. Good luck!

I have had to wear wide leg pants for years (not knowing I had Lymphedema of both lower legs). But in November of 2010 not even the ones I had fit any more. I found on QVC (qvc.com) some pants that worked fine. I have even been wearing them through the banding treatments (although still a bit small). Go on their website and put A13015 in the search box and Bob Mackie wide leg pants will come up. If you scroll down in the description box there is an option to 'click here' for measurements of the pants. By doing this you should be able to tell if they will fit before ordering.

Good luck!
