Overview

The lymph system is made up of lymph vessels and lymph nodes that run throughout the body. The lymph vessels carry fluid to the lymph nodes. When there is an injury, or the lymph system isn’t working properly, fluid can build up in the soft tissues of the body causing swelling in the affected limb.
