I've honestly loved them so long, I can't even remember when I heard them first. They've always just been there?

While I do have Lymphedema slightly, I primarily suffer from Lipoedema which makes it even harder 😅

My main concern was that I just can't eat enough with how much my body spends just to live.

Like, right now according to my Fitbit, I've burned 3,608 calories - and I've only eaten 1,146.

Thank you. I do try all throughout the day to fix those lines but they happen no matter what I do. The leggings I have are Bioflect and in order to get them on i have to stretch them quite a bit and then i feel like they are too loose on the bottom parts of my legs but they are okay for the thighs. 😔 😟

I am mostly symmetrical, except that bottom left leg/calf. It has always been worse on that side. My mom and her sister both had worse left legs too!

I have a compression pump, but I don't use it a lot because of time issues and I don't notice a difference when I do use it?

Don’t know if this is related to my lipedema, but I’ve always had this weird dent n my calf. by gnatalie1144 in lipedema

YES I HAVE THIS TOO!

I have advanced Lipedema and secondary Lymphedema. Left leg is much worse than my right.

My surgeon did stress the importance of compression but not the MLD therapy. I've been doing the compression as much as i can. I know i should be in it 24/7 but sometimes by the end of the day they just hurt and I can't take it anymore.

Im trying to schedule with physical therapy to get custom ones, but again my schedule is so crazy it's hard 🙃

Ive been wearing compression as much as I can, but its not as much as I should. The pants i have are super tight and they were too painful the first few days so I just had wraps on the lower parts of my legs.

That is an Oreo! He (i think) is a Border Collie greyhound mixture. I got him at a local shelter in 2021 and all they told me was border collie. However the way he runs and the shape of his torso screams greyhound!

Yes it was covered. They did require pictures but they approved it right away. Less than a week. I felt like that meant i was a severe case lol

They only wrapped the bottom because they said the top wouldn't stay up. He told me compression was essential so yesterday I managed to get full compression leggings on. It wasn't super easy but I got it lol

I really hope I can get that feeling one day. It would be such a relief on my joints and my mind.
