If you press down on your leg with a finger and see mild swelling, yes, Lymphatic massage is helpful. This would have to be done in a series, depending on how fast the fluid is removed from the area.

If the imprint is very deep, this is referred to as pitted edema. This type of condition is referred to as Lymphedema. It is the swelling of tissues (edema) usually found in the feet and legs due to lymphatic obstruction. I would not do massage for you. My advice to you is to go to the doctor.
