@the.lipedema.edit: I know wearing compression in hot weather sounds miserable, but for me it’s one of the biggest things that helps prevent swelling when I’m out and about. Today I made the mistake of leaving without it because I thought I’d only be at the pool for a little while. Instead, I ended up walking around for hours in nearly 100° heat. By the end of the day, my calves were so swollen my friends joked they couldn’t even find my kneecaps. 😂 When I flare like this, the things that help me most are: • electrolytes • elevating my legs • getting back into compression Does anyone else’s swelling get dramatically worse in the heat? #lipedema #lipedemalegs #compression #womenshealth
