When lipedema starts to progress, the legs can become even larger. Your legs might start to feel very heavy and walking can become difficult as you struggle to move your legs. The lipidomic fat can then move to other areas of the body. You might start to notice that your arms are becoming larger over time. This occurs as the disease spreads throughout the body. Once again it is important to make sure that you get the proper diagnosis from your doctor. You will want to make sure that you are checked for this disease as it can cause many more health problems as it continues to progress. Your doctor should be able to come up with a treatment plan if it is found that you are suffering from lipedema. If it starts to spread into your arms, you may also notice other symptoms occurring. Medical attention is important during this time.
