Story about Lymphoedema .

Lipedema and Lymphedema

Aug 14, 2017


I have always had large legs and was always told to lose weight.  They kept getting bigger and bigger and finally I could not get pants to fit anymore.

My GP retired and I got a new one.  I showed her my legs and she immediately knew what it was.  Lipo-lymphedema.  She immediately sent me to a intenest and she sent me to a therpist because she was not sure what it was.

The therapist started treatment to remove the fluid.  I also have it in both my arms as well as both my legs and the fluid builds up in my abdomen because the duct needs help to open.
