When “just lose weight” isn’t the whole answer.
If your lower body doesn’t respond like the rest of you, start with a 5–10 minute toolkit you can bring to a clinician.
Lipedema is a chronic connective tissue and fat disorder that often shows up as disproportionate fat buildup, most commonly in the legs and sometimes the arms. Many women report pain or tenderness, swelling, and easy bruising.
Common signs women report:
Your legs look and feel different than the rest of your body
Tenderness or pain that doesn't match your activity level
Swelling that comes and goes, especially in the evening
Small, firm bumps you can feel under the skin
