Lipedema

What Is Lipedema?

Lipedema is a chronic medical condition chatactrised by symmetric buildup of adipose tissue (fat) in the legs and arms. A common but under recognized disorder.

Lipedema may cause pain, easy bruising, leg heaviness, sensitivity to touch, swelling, cold legs/feet, fatigue, and impaired mobility.

It may be accompanied by an unusual texture within the fat and can feel like rice, beans, or walnuts, “Tree Trunk Legs”(Column like Legs), fatty pads around knees and the tell-tale “Wrist and Ankel Cuffs” these are distinct, shelf-like fat transitions where abnormal fatty tissue buildup abruptly stops right before the joint, completely sparing the hands and feet.

The intensity of pain may range from none to severe, frequency may be constant, intermiitent, or only occur when pressure is applied. Limited public awareness of Lipedema and few research-backed treatments, can lead to exacerbation of symptoms as well as physical and emotional distress.
