Hello. I'm 22 years old. Height - 160 cm, weight - 47 kg. Something is wrong with my legs. I feel heaviness (if i am standing). My skin looks weird (puffy and flabby). I feel pain, which i can describe like "inflammation". But it almost go away if i am laying/swimming. Many doctors told me that i am skinny. They say that my pain could be neurological. My question is: do i need any surgery? I guess that lipedema operations is not available in my country. Can LPG or laser lipo help me?
