Are your legs or arms disproportionately larger than your torso? Do they feel heavy? Do they hurt and bruise easily? Do they ache? Do they appear lumpy? Do you feel pea or bean sized modules under your skin? Unfortunately most doctors are untrained and unaware of Lipedema. If you tell a doctor you have lipedema, odds are they will think you are talking about lymphadema. I found a Lipedema organization on the internet that keeps a directory of physicians who diagnose and treat Lipedema. I flew to LA three times to get diagnosed by three doctors.
