Signs of lipedema that I thought were normal...

Signs of lipedema that I thought were normal... Until I learned... Nope. SOCK INDENTS, NO MATTER WHAT. THIS IS ACTUALLY NOT THAT BAD. MY INFORMATION IS REALLY GOOD SO IT'S NOT THAT BAD, BUT STILL. SOCK RIDGES, LARGER CALVES, AND ACTUALLY, NO MUSCLE IN MY CALF. NO MATTER HOW MANY LEG RAISES OR CALF EXERCISES I WOULD DO. JUST KIND OF FEELS LIKE ONE BIG SLAP RIGHT THERE. NO KNEECAPS? THEY'RE IN HERE SOMEWHERE. WHEN I BEND THAT WAY, YOU CAN SEE THEM. BUT WHEN I'M STANDING UP OR LAYING DOWN, WHERE ARE THEY? OH, THAT'S RIGHT. THEY'RE COVERED UNDER MY HOODS AND MY LIPEDEMA NODULES. ANOTHER THING, TENDERNESS TO THE TOUCH. SO IF YOU RUN YOUR FINGERS UP SOMEONE'S LEG WITH LIPEDEMA, THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BOTHER THEM. IT'S NOT GONNA FEEL GOOD. ANOTHER THING IS PAIN. JUST BY PUSHING A LITTLE BIT, THAT CAN BE VERY, VERY, VERY PAINFUL FOR SOME WOMEN. IT WAS FOR ME AT NOW I'M A LOT BETTER WITH THAT. BUT THAT IS STILL A SIGN OF LIPEDEMA THAT I THOUGHT WAS VERY NORMAL UNTIL I FOUND OUT IT'S NOT.
