Lymphedema ?????????

After reading a few posts on the board I am now concerned by some of the symptoms I am seeing when a person has lymphedema. I have had moderate to severe swelling in my legs for about 2 years now and was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure this year and venous statis disease and assumed that my symptoms were caused by these two health problems, I even had surgery on my knee in Feb, and the doctor didn't say a word about the swelling then but ... For the past 8 months or so that my inner thighs have hard lumpy masses on them and so does my lower stomach. The one on my stomach is pliable as were the ones on my thighs, but now the inner are very very firm. This is sound like lymphedema to you? Or does anyone have the same health problems and suffering the same thing? I would love to get some feed back here.
