Asked By:lisa austin in Gainesville, FL

I think I have lipedema. I have attached pictures of my ankles, front and back thighs, front and side of legs. I understand I need to see a doctor to obtain a proper diagnosi, but please let me know your opinion. Regardless of what I do, the fat wont go away from my thighs and calves. In fact, my calves protrude like a huge fat muscles. My thighs have cellulite and I feel the fat rolls under my skin. Your opinion is greatly appreciated. Thank You!
