I am thinking by the graphs I have seen, I am a stage 4 lipedema/lymphedema patient. I have had symptoms since around 1990. I wear compression hose at all times except bedtime and I try take good care of the skin on my legs. I am a certified pharmacy techncian. I have been in pharmacy over 30 years. In pharmacy there is practically no sitting down and I am really starting to feel the pain of this disease. I usually end up at the end of a work day with extreme swelling and pain. I find it hard to even walk most days. I am on this site to socialize with other patients and to get the latest info and news with this chronic condition.  less
