What is The Difference Between Lipedema and Lymphedema?
Unlike lymphedema, women suffer from the painful condition of lipedema mainly in their legs. One of the most notable differences is that feet are generally not involved in lipedema.
Lipedema tissue usually stops at the feet and causes the size of the trunk and the size of the legs to become disproportionate. The feet are usually normal in size when initially affected, but then swelling begins to develop from the level of the ankles.
