When diets don't help...
Those who maintain a balanced diet, are physically active, yet continue to gain weight and suffer from pain-sensitive arms and legs are very likely affected by lipedema. Today, lipedema is finally recognized as a disease and can be effectively treated. However, the number of treatment facilities has increased so significantly that it can be challenging for affected women to distinguish between legitimate medical care and mere profiteering. Dr. Florian Netzer provides clarity and summarizes what there is to know about the condition. The lipedema expert offers an overview of the manifestations of lipedema, explains the diagnostic process, and outlines credible surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
