Do I have lipedema? (Photos)

dagreatbeebee
I am a 19 yr old female and am curious if I seem to have lipedema. In the past few months my thighs occasionally get a little sensations through them which I am assuming is because of dehydration (I am currently on Spironolactone for PCOS). No one in my family has had lipedema from what I know and have been told. My thighs have always been fuller, I lost weight last year (2nd lost a lot from my legs but I became underweight and have been gaining the weight back slightly (i lost 20 ibs total). I guess I bruise kinda easy but thats how I have always been lol.
