Μαρία.Χ :
Lipedema is supposed to be a very rare disease, yet I constantly see more and more women saying they have it. I used to believe the same about myself. Basically, I have many of its symptoms and I also have a lower extremity scan from a radiologist where they wrote that I have lipedema of the shins. Since then, I visited two vascular surgeons who know about lipedema, as well as a plastic surgeon who also specializes in it. They examined my veins and told me to take Vencil pills and a gel to strengthen my veins, adding that visually I don't look like I have lipedema. Of course, I am overweight, and that by itself doesn't make things any easier. I am on a diet, etc., and I am trying to lose weight so that I can visit a doctor again and have a clearer picture. Anyway, the doctor told me that many physicians tell women they have lipedema when it’s actually just localized fat. He also mentioned that since he used to work in another country, he saw women going in for surgeries based on just one doctor's diagnosis, without being 100% sure they actually had it. Furthermore, he told me that surgery doesn't really offer much—maybe only to the appearance. Maybe... What I want to say with all this is: don't get discouraged. Research it more thoroughly so there is a correct diagnosis. Start with diet, exercise, and positive thinking! I am still eating myself up inside (despite the doctors' positive reassurance) thinking that I have it because of the symptoms, but I have started the process of fighting to fix myself inside and out. In a few months from now, I will visit a doctor again to be checked, but only after losing weight first! Start fixing your inside so it can happen to your outside too, and then you will see if you have lipedema, just localized fat, or some vein issue—because these cause common symptoms. Look into it well, girls!"

When I had hip surgery, the surgeon cut my orbuturator artery. Went back in 10 days later and the artery wasn’t closed off and I was bleeding in my leg. Had a coil embolism done. I’ve never been the same. I know I have terrible lipodema and vascular issues. He ruined my life but I’m past the statute of limitations so I can’t sue

I’m curious how your legs and arms as far as aching. Does it feel like it’s sore, almost like you slept on it wrong the whole night or maybe you had a tetanus shot and it’s sore

I had meniscus surgery over 2 weeks ago. It feels like the other knee will need it too at some stage.
