“Fat legs” is a common complaint among ladies with pear- shaped bodies. It denotes an excess accumulation of localised and stubborn fat in the lower extremities compared to other body regions. It is generally influenced by genetics, dietary habits and physical activity levels.
In patients with lipedema, it typically causes pain and tenderness in the affected areas, while “fat legs” are often devoid of such sensations.
#Lipedema also manifests as disproportionate swelling in the affected areas and tends to bruise easily, while those affected by “fat legs” do not encounter such issues.
This medical condition often brings about significant pain and functional limitations. It is frequently accompanied by discomfort, swelling, and heightened susceptibility to bruising.
