Just diagnosed with lipedema, where do I start?

Welcome! First, I recommend consulting a vascular surgeon or plastic surgeon experienced in lipedema. Compression therapy and manual lymph drainage (MLD) can be the first steps.

I was also diagnosed 3 years ago. It's very hard at first but with the right treatment you can make great progress. Compression stockings changed my life!

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

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.

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.

This part is tiring. Sometimes it feels like I am doing things, but my body does not respond the way I expect.
