Have you ever had thess lumps examined from people with lipedema who have pain, and those that don't? There must be a difference to be found... possibly inflammatory substances?
You should do a scheduled 'pop up' in the NYC area. There aren't many docs here who treat lipedema. We have tons of plastic surgeons but very very few treat lipedema and one works with the patient's insurance to get the procedure covered.
Anyone know where I can get some decent compression leggings? I have horrible pain in my legs. I guess you can say after watching this, I have more classical lipedema or lipolymphedema legs and arms. I fall down all the time because of my knees. But I can't find compression that works. Because my legs are so big and I have a smaller waist. I have to have compression. I used to get the maidenform leggings 1644 Get the skinny. But they stopped making them. Then I bought sigvaris. Way to big on waist and tight on legs. Ugh.
My wife has this. We can’t afford to see you. But we can feel the nodules under her arm even in her lower arms. The nodules caused her hernias and really affected her quality of life. It breaks my heart for her. Even when she diets the nodules don’t go away. The excess swelling can but the nodules don’t. I’ll even send you a picture or dm so you are aware of the severity.
I’ve always been thin, but each pregnancy my legs would atleast double in size, after breast cancer and a hysterectomy, the pain and size in my legs is awful. When I got Covid, the pain in my legs was so bad I cried every single day for six months. I had to lay in bed with heating pads nonstop. I still have lots of pain in my legs but not as bad as those 6 months. This is hell and nobody where I live seems to understand the suffering.
Given Lipedema's impact on the skin, we recommend prioritizing daily cleansing and moisturizing, along with regular salon visits for pedicures. Healthy, moisturized skin and manicured nails lower the risk of infections and wounds.
Congratulations, I will probably never afford surgery, unfortunately. But I am very excited for those who do. Sincerely congratulations I'm glad you found hope.

My legs look like hers. I have had huge hips and thighs and pannis and arms since I was 11-12. Pain and bruising that only got worse after birthing children.
I wonder if this why I have so much pain in my bottom and back and knees. When I try to do floor exercises I always have excruciating pain. I suffered from the fat pain as long for at least 30 of my 50 years. I just thought I was overly sensitive. My lower body and arms have always been huge in comparison with my torso.
Its an MLE procedure for Lipedema, so exercises to help treat it, but also showing you how to help it from progressing, its part of their advertising. I get where you're coming from but its what they do, so I would just expect it from TLC. 👍 🙃 💯
I’m 28 years old and I have BRCA2 and I’m 99% sure I have this too 😭 as I’ve had swelling in my lower legs since high school. My mom and grandma passed but they had my legs as well. I believe it was a cardiologist I met with in high school that my doctor recommended, since she couldn’t believe I had swelling in my legs below my calves when I played competitive soccer. I did an EKG, and did tests for my veins and arteries, everything worked just fine. The doctor said it could be a capillary issue potentially, but said I have edema and just have to live with it. It sucked. So for years I just accepted it. I played soccer through college too and the issue never got better. Can’t tell you all the things my athletic trainers tried to help but didn’t work or solve the problem. You can feel the nodules on my shin bones easily and that really started in college. I would say my case is very mild compared to most, probably stage 1. Thank you for putting this out there though. I wish I would’ve known about this years ago 🥹
The caption was misleading. I was notified of this video, but didn't want to see this and was expecting it to talk about the exercise, not looking at a liposuction procedure!
