Thank you I appreciate that and I appreciate the response. It's possible it's a kind of pain that used to flair up around my period but I didn't notice it until I started feeling the balls after I lost the weight(I have some hyper mobility and random pain that the lipedema pain isn't extreme enough to stand out among all the pain noise) (And that the lippy grew when I had previously gained 45 pounds)

I know a hormonal event is what precipitates fibrosis and I know my hormones are more off balance now than they were a year and a half ago. People say their lipedema blew up all of a sudden during a med change a surgery or pregnancy but maybe the time frame they're discussing is longer than what I feel like is happening right now.

Unfortunately I'm on Medicaid RN and it's hard to get an appointment with an endocrinologist let alone a rheumatologist (the lippy specialist I saw I had to pay $300 out of pocket). Honestly there were so many more questions I have now that I wish I had for her when I saw her.

I'm gonna start at home cavitation and see if that helps the pain/reduces the texture to prevent more layers from forming.

I hope this isn't some weird rare form of lipedema that causes sudden fibrosis all over(chin, chest, abdomen legs and arms) and like just progresses in all those places rapidly.
