Hi everyone,

​I’m 26 years old and I’ve always had legs like this, ever since puberty. I haven’t noticed any major changes over time, regardless of my weight or lifestyle. They just seem to stay the same.

​I’m trying to understand if this could be early-stage Lipedema or if it's just a combination of cellulite and fluid retention.

​A few details about my situation:

​Feelings: My legs often feel swollen and heavy, but I do not feel any pain or tenderness when pressing on the skin.

​Texture: You can see the texture in the photos, especially where I’m pinching the skin. It feels a bit nodular/bumpy.
