Does lipedema every present without pain? if no, then what other conditions can cause a thicker legged appearance that bruise easily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphedema is not always painful. It is more uncomfortable when the lymphedema areas are bigger. If there is obesity, weight loss is helpful. If it is not clear if the areas are lymphedema, have it evaluated by your doctor. Good luck to you!
