The saddle bags of frustration
When you are eating properly, super active, exercising and still you legs and thighs expand.. I started noticing in 1988. Just thought it was middle age spread. Now I walk with a cane but I was diagnosed two years ago through my work with Lymphedema patients.
I am a member of Lipoedema UK, visit their website:http://www.lipoedema.co.uk/ They have even teamed up with the Royal College of General Practitioners to create an ecourse that trains GPs to recognise and diagnose Lipoedema (lipedema)
There is no treatment for advanced Lipoedema ( WAL, water assisted tumescent liposuction) in Canada at this time.
