Does lipedema occur in the arms or is it only seen in the legs?

I wonder about this too. The inner part of my upper arm is very sensitive; even a bag strap can hurt sometimes.

I have something similar. It changes from day to day, so I try not to judge the whole process from one day.

Do you also bruise on the arms? Mine is not like the legs, but small bruises happen sometimes.

I would not explain every symptom only by lipedema. If it is one-sided, suddenly worse, red, or hot, I would take it more seriously.

Lipedema is most often more obvious in the legs, but the arms can also be affected in some people. However, arm fullness or tenderness alone does not diagnose lipedema. Fat distribution, pain, bruising, hand and foot involvement, and accompanying findings should be evaluated together. See can lipedema affect the arms.

Symptoms should be evaluated together, and new one-sided swelling, redness, warmth, chest pain, or shortness of breath should not be delayed. See lipödem belirtileri ve ayırıcı tanı.

This made it clearer for me. I think I was trying to make everything perfect and then giving up quickly.
