Heaviness
In addition to the swelling, you might feel heaviness in your legs or arms. This condition is caused by the weight of accumulated fluids in these areas. The limbs might feel harder to move around as usual. This tends to be one of the earliest signs in people with lymphedema. If left untreated for an extended period, the intensity might go up quickly and make it more difficult to do some physical activities, especially those tasks that involve your limbs. [2]
