Lymphedema is characterized by swelling due to the accumulation of lymph fluid, which can lead to aching in the affected area (B) due to the pressure from the swelling. Restricted range of motion (C) is also common as the swelling can limit movement. Cellulitis (E), a bacterial skin infection, can occur in individuals with lymphedema because the skin and lymphatic system are compromised, making it easier for infections to develop.
